About the game
This uses Scrabble type tiles, with additional tiles added from multiple games, and modified for the punctuation marks needed: Apostrophes, Exclamation Points, and Quotation Marks (if desired). There should be a complete set of Phrase tiles for each player participating, i.e. 4 players should have at least 4 complete phrases available, thus eliminating certain tiles being more valuable because they are in limited supply. You are attempting to complete the phrase "It's a TRAP!" before another can in order to WIN. Place the Scrabble type tiles face down in plain view of all, then select who shall commence their TURN 1st. Pick a single tile, if you happen to pick a tile that you already have for your phrase, then you must discard it, to allow other players a chance to draw tiles they need. Play then continues to the next player. Tiles remain face down in front of you, so that others won't know what you require to complete your phrase. ONCE you have all tiles necessary to complete "It's a Trap!", THEN you reveal it to the others and call out in your best imitation with: "It's a TRAP!" Others shall be expected to lament their slovenly methodology from their pickings whence they FAIL during such. They should be "shunned"!
