Racketile

• Normal

  The classic game with no clock. Take your turn whenever you like, even if a game runs for days.

• Plain

  Normal without the bonus squares. Every tile is worth its face value and nothing more.

• Golf

  Lowest score wins. Playing more tiles trims points off your turn, a bingo scores -25, each pass or swap costs more than the last, and tiles left on your rack count against you.

• Timed turns

  Every turn has a countdown. Let it run out and you pass, unless you already had a valid word set up, which gets played for you.

• Blitz

  Each player gets one clock for the whole game. If yours hits zero you're out, and everyone else plays on.

• Rush

  Normal scoring plus a speed bonus: 10 extra points if you play within 10 seconds, 5 within 15. Taking longer costs you nothing.

• Flag Run

  A 1v1 race. Land a tile on your opponent's flag and you win on the spot, whatever the score. No capture? Tiles you got into their camp add 3 points each. Rush bonuses count too.

• Scatter

  Put down tiles in several spots in one turn, then submit them all at once. Each group has to connect to tiles already on the board.

• Fog

  The bonus squares are hidden and the layout changes every game. You only find one when a tile lands on it.

• Stack

  Play on empty squares or right on top of letters already down. Only the top letter counts, and a bonus square pays out just once.

• Cascade

  Scatter and Stack together. Play in several spots at once and stack on existing letters in the same turn.

Scatter, Stack, and Cascade are people-only, so they aren't available against practice bots. Every other mode works with bots.
