Danish Scrabble

Heike, my German co-worker, came over for a game of Scrabble yesterday. She brought her Danish set so that we could either play English or in Danish, but I insisted that we play in Danish. I convinced Kendrick to play too, and we had a lot of fun. It was most fun at the beginning when we realized how many points we could still garner with 2, 3, and 4 letter words. In the end, I lost, even to Kendrick, but our scores were quite respectable (Gina - 168, Kendrick - 169, Heike - 250-ish). Heike is fluent in Danish, but we managed to cobble her score by blocking all her opportunities with our short words. Here is a selection:
ris (rice)
jo (yes, in answer to a negative)
øl (beer)
mælk (milk)
hun (she)
to (two)
snak (chat!)
då (??)

We also took a picture of our final board. I'm so proud of it!
