If everyone has blanks, then it's just a case of making as many 7/8 letter words as you can, and ensuring the other person can't make as many as you do. :-) Easy solution on scoring the Scrabble: There’s a fifty point bonus for using all your 7 letters in one go.

Some thoughts on the games: First Game : I guess this is how something God must be churning out us human beings...completely unique in our way... and hence no one solution is the 'right' one.. Second Game: If we didn't know the parameters and rules we are playing by...we wudnt play games (atleast from an average human perspective).. :) Third Game : If I am the player...I think I will try to make it acheive a shape I 'think' is correct (of course, after some observation and evaluation)...then when I am aware I am ending near end-of-life, I will convince myself that it is a-good-enough-shape. ;) Fourth Game : I think it would be a draw....else it can go on forever (keeping in mind, the normal human tendency in persisting to win). In the avoidance game, intutively, I think it is possible to win Fifth Game : Selecting a criteria for evaluation is subjective (atleast one where one has to evaluate one's own numerous works)....so picking a winner is subject to the final chosen criterion. I think every 'game' other than life has to have some communicable rules (if it is played between 2 or more players), a real-time-acheivable objective and a 'fair' criteria to decide only one winner... I am curious to know the link between the games....Is there any? This is one of your best, according to me …loved mulling over the questions…

Some thoughts on the games:
First Game : I guess this is how something God must be churning out us human beings…completely unique in our way… and hence no one solution is the ‘right’ one..
Second Game: If we didn’t know the parameters and rules we are playing by…we wudnt play games (atleast from an average human perspective).. :)
Third Game : If I am the player…I think I will try to make it acheive a shape I ‘think’ is correct (of course, after some observation and evaluation)…then when I am aware I am ending near end-of-life, I will convince myself that it is a-good-enough-shape. ;)
Fourth Game : I think it would be a draw….else it can go on forever (keeping in mind, the normal human tendency in persisting to win). In the avoidance game, intutively, I think it is possible to win
Fifth Game : Selecting a criteria for evaluation is subjective (atleast one where one has to evaluate one’s own numerous works)….so picking a winner is subject to the final chosen criterion.
