    Solidly genX, always fucking hated scrabble powergamers boiling the fun out of everything.

    The way you make classic scrabble awesome is by adding just one rule: you must play the funniest word you can make, regardless of score. If players do not agree which word is funnier, they must argue about it.

    This actually leads to some interesting strategy, for instance if you’re left with two Os in your hand, you’re very likely going to have to play POO next turn, and that’s only 3 points. And you can set traps, too.

      The P alone is worth 3 points, and if you aren’t completely braindead you can multiply that by playing it on a bonus square next to another word.

      You could play POO and get 30 points easily without being funny (playing POO or POOP is always funny). You just have to be not stupid and try.
