Stealing is the name of the game. One Up! takes a nimble mind, as everyone tries to be the first person to make a word from the tiles that are face-down in the center. Take turns flipping one tile over at a time: first an "A", then an "R" and then a "T". Shout it out, and don't be shy–"ART!" Keep turning over tiles one at a time until another word of three or more letters can be made. But wait a sec! The game has a cool, cutthroat twist: any player's words can be stolen by anyone else by simply adding a letter. If an "M" is turned over, and since you already have the word "ART", I can call out "MART" and take it from you. It's my word now, so pound sand. But anyone can snatch it back if an "S" is flipped over and they yell out "SMART." Damn! "If Scrabble is a bit S•L•O•W for your taste, try this fast-paced alternative." – Real Simple magazine All words are in play at all times so you really have to pay attention. The player with the most words at the end wins.
