All right, so it's got about 25 too many letters. And it probably
wouldn't count as a real word. But just think what a score it would get!
Scrabble encourages everyone, from reading-level children to adults, to
enhance their vocabulary. The more words you know, the more creative
and lucrative your turns can be. Of course, the placement of the words
is just as important as the words themselves. A well-placed three-letter
word can easily outdo a six-letter word out in the open.
A
delightful way to get kids interested in spelling and give adults a
chance to show off to each other, there isn't much bad you can say about
this game. You and the other players determine the course of the game.
You can even bend the rules a bit for an interesting twist. For
instance, you could have a "Star Trek" night where every word had to
have something to do with Star Trek. Or a name night so you can use all
those names you're not allowed to put on the board in a regular game.
The possibilities are endless, and each game of Scrabble is a couple of
hours well spent engaging your mind and having fun at the same time.
One word of warning: If you buy this particular version, you risk the
letters sliding all over the board. The deluxe rotating plastic
gameboard with grooves for each square is more expensive but it is money
well spent. There are few things more infuriating when playing a game
than to be winning gloriously only to have the gameboard wrecked before
your victory can be sealed!
