Disadvantages: Maybe not stimulating enough for kids these days.

Scrabble is a game for people with big brains. Or at least that was what I though until I got it!

The aim is to make words using the 7 letters you're allowed to pick out of the bag of letters. Each letter has assocaited points which are written on them the aim is to score the highest and get rid of all your letters first.

As you put letters down at the end of that go you have to pick more out of the bag to replace the ones you have just put down. the bag runs out of letters and if you get rid of yours first you could be the winner!

This is a great educational game and very good for children to play with adult as it will help with development of words. I believe you and get Junior Scrabble too and this would be great for younger kids.

Watch out for people trying to cheat by looking up all the odd two letter words they have in the leaflet that comes with the game. Don't let anyone put a word down unless they can demonstrate how to use it in a sentance!

Good game, can be frustrating for those of us who dont know lots of words, but it is an education and you can learn them!

Summary: Good family fun game for a rainly day on holiday in the Lakes!
