In Scroubabble, players create short comic strip stories by placing tiles on a large 15x15 grid. Each player draws seven tiles and tries to arrange them into coherent stories. Other players judge the coherence, and incoherent stories can be rejected. Points are optional, and players decide if and when the game ends.
