General Comments
It is documented that over one hundred million sets have been sold, which says it all really!! This game is very simple to set up; then it starts to get a little more challenging. Only 2 players are required for a game of Scrabble (maximum 4, or 4 teams if you have a house full). The main idea of the game is to select a number of tiles then build words from the tiles chosen. Each letter has a numerical value, and with clever positioning on the board, bonuses can be picked up such as "double letter" score or "triple word" score. The idea is to build up as big a points total as possible. There are quite a few rules to get your head around initially, but these are easily "picked up", and it is not uncommon for "house rules" to be invented for ease and speed of play.



I would highly recommend Scrabble, as it really gives the old brain a good work out. If it proves too difficult then there's always Junior Scrabble, which kept me and my siblings entertained for hours on end!! Buy your set folks!!
