Scrabble Original

I have so far played Scrabble in Italian, Spanish and English! Scrabble is a game which is patented by Mattel. There is a board and players are given 7 letters to start with, the first player will start making a letter out of these and place it in the middle ofthe board, and the other player will have to add words with their letters which need to take in at least on the letters already on the board. Each letter gives a different score, plus there are scores on the board, with some cells giving you double points or even 3 points. The game can be played with minimum 2 players up to 6 players. It is a very good game to learn ...  Read the complete review

Scrabble is one of the most famous board games in the world, and for good reason. Like all the best games, scrabble is very straight forward, easy to learn how to play, and can be played by anyone. The aim of the game is for each player to make the best word from the 7 randomly selected letters and then place the letters on the crossword style game board to earn points. Each letter has a different point value, with 'X', 'Q' & 'Z' being the most valuable and more common letters like 'E', 'A' & 'S' being worth less. More points can be earned by putting your letters down on certain places on the board where you can get double & ...  Read the complete review

Scrabble is probably my favourite board game, I even have a proper scrabble dictionary to go with the game! - it's just a shame that so few people in my family agree with me so I don't get to play it very often.

What I mean by this is that A, E, S and other commonly used letters have a tile value of just 1 where as less common letters such as Q or Z score higher amounts. As well as this ...  Read the complete review

It is a great family game and we have loads of pc games but this is one traditional board game that we play about 3 or 4 times a week. I will give you a introduction to Scrabble and by the time I have finished, I want you all to run to Woolworths and buy one. Scrabble is a word game for 2-4 players and consists of forming interlocking words rather like a crossword. The object of the game is to get the highest score. Everyone competes by using their tiles in combinations that will give them the highest score. I am fairly good at scrabble and can reach around 350, but top players can create 400 to 800 points. ...  Read the complete review

Not many 12-year-old kids would tell their parents that in the middle of a crowded restaurant - well I did, or at least something similar - can't remember my exact words. I have always been competitive - my early days in school before I discovered boys I always wanted to be top of the class, when I played cricket (yes cricket) I always wanted to win, when I discovered boys I was gutted if they wanted someone else even if I didn't fancy them - but before boys I discovered Scrabble. My sister, 6 years older, found herself a wonderful, intellectually superior boyfriend who spent a considerable amount of time in the bosom of our family and together ...  Read the complete review
