My favourite way to play Scrabble is in some sort of co-operative way to come up with lots of interesting words on the board and fill up the whole board with an interesting spread rather than have everything bunched up in high-scoring clusters or playing a defensive game that blocks everyone else's moves.
YES YES YES! The rules of Scrabble reward being able to play Scrabble, which is frankly quite dull, rather than rewarding play, which what I want really to do when I feel all those lovely tiles taking shape beneath my fingers. If the pattern could be made attractive or symmetrical too, that's even better.
Do I care about putting AX on a triple word score? NO.
