Advantages: Great fun

Disadvantages: -

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 & triple word & letter scores.

The game can have 2 - 4 players, with each putting down a word in turn, and then picking up new tiles randomly to increase their umber to 7 tiles.

The game continues until all the tiles are used, and the player with the highest score is the winner.

It's a great game, that is enjoyed the most when all the players are of a similar level.

Summary: Great fun

This is nicely written and gives us a good general idea of the game. However, what I found missing here is your opinion of the game and any insights you have as to why it is so enjoyable to play, if you do anything special when you play it and who you would believe would enjoy playing it. That should have been the bulk of your review since almost everyone knows what this game is about and how it is played.

A classic game and a nice review. Triple word score I think.
