Indoor Games: 2nd day morning (____)
General Mechanics or Criteria:
Players: 4 participants per family, 1 player for each game (chess, dominoes, word factory,
and scrabble)
Game Setup: win-to-win situation
‘Palabunutan’ setup-- whoever pick the ‘bless’ word automatically proceeds to the
finals of the game.
We have only 4 set per game; 1st round, 2nd round, semi- finals, and the finals.
Game End: the winner for the finals obviously the champion. If ever there is draw o tie, we
will be having toss coin to declare who is the winner.
Chess
1. Game Setup: Chess is played on an 8x8 board. Each player starts with 16 pieces: one king, one
queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. The pieces are positioned on the
board in a specific arrangement, with white always starting on the bottom.
2. Objective: The goal of the game is to checkmate the opponent's king, which means putting the
king in a position where it is under attack and cannot escape capture on the next move.
Checkmate results in the victory of the player who achieved it.
3. Turn Sequence: Players take turns moving their pieces. White always moves first, and then the
players alternate turns.
Dominoes
1. Game Setup: Dominoes is typically played with a set of 28 tiles. Each tile is divided into two
squares, and each square contains a number of dots (also known as pips), ranging from 0 to 6.
The tiles are shuffled face down, and each player draws a specific number of tiles, often 7 in a
two-player game.
2. Objective: The goal of the game is to be the first player to get rid of all your tiles or score the
most points by the end of the game.
3. Starting the Game: The player holding the highest double (a tile with the same number of pips
on both squares, such as [6-6]) starts the game by playing it in the center. If no one has a
double, the player holding the highest-sum tiles starts.
4. Scoring: Some variations of dominoes assign point values to specific tiles, typically doubles or
tiles adding up to a certain number, and players score points when they play those tiles.
However, in the standard game, scoring is not involved, and the objective is purely to empty
your hand.
5. Game End: The game ends when one player has played all their tiles, or when no more moves
are possible. The player with no tiles or the lowest tile count at the end of the game is often
considered the winner.
Word Factory
1. Game Setup: Word Factory is typically played with a deck of letter cards. Each player is dealt a
certain number of cards from the deck (e.g., 5 cards per player). The remaining cards form a
draw pile.
2. Objective: The goal of the game is to score the most points by creating words using the letter
cards in your hand.
3. Turn Sequence: - Flip: At the beginning of each turn, the top card of the draw pile is flipped face
up to create a communal pool of letters available to all players.
4. Word Validity: All words formed in Word Factory must be valid words from an agreed-upon
word list or dictionary. Typically, a standard dictionary or word list is used, and players are not
allowed to use proper nouns, abbreviations, or foreign words.
5. Scoring: Each letter card has a point value assigned to it (often based on its frequency in the
English language). Players earn points based on the sum of the point values of the cards they
played. Some variations may assign different values to certain letters or have bonus scoring
opportunities, such as using all the letters in a single turn or forming words of a specified length.
6. Game End: The game continues until there are no more letter cards in the draw pile and no
players can play any more cards. At this point, scores are tallied, and the player with the highest
score wins.
Scrabble
1. Game Setup: Scrabble is played on a board divided into a grid of squares. Each player draws
seven letter tiles from a bag. One player starts as the first "active" player.
2. Creating Words: Players take turns forming words on the board by placing their letter tiles in a
connected manner. Words can be created horizontally or vertically, and each tile must be placed
on a single square.
3. Scoring Points: Tiles used in forming words have different point values based on their rarity and
difficulty. The score of a word is determined by adding up the values of all the tiles used,
including any existing words formed or modified by the new word.
4. Turn Sequence: Players take turns in a clockwise direction. On each turn, players have the
option to exchange some or all of their tiles for new ones or pass their turn. If a player forms a
word, they announce their score and draw new tiles to replenish their rack.
5. Valid Words: In Scrabble, all words formed on the board must be valid words from an agreed-
upon word list. Typically, the official Scrabble word list maintained by authorized bodies or the
Scrabble dictionary is used.
6. Game End: The game continues until all tiles are used, and no player can form new words or
make additional moves. The winning player is the one with the highest score, taking into
account any bonuses earned from premium squares.
