Zig Zaggle (1954)

This game uses letter tiles to form words on a grid. Players start with 3 wildcards each and 9 letter tiles. After playing a word, a player draws tiles back to a total of 12. The tiles are colored and there are bonuses for using only one color in a word and laying it in the section of the board of that color. The playing area is cross-shaped, with each arm of the cross a different color. The center section contains dual color areas. Words are played trying to reach the end of an arm for a bonus. Once the bonus is awarded, play is towards the next arm of the cross. once the fourth bonus is taken, the game ends and highest score wins.
