S_C_R_A_B_B_L_E spells fun in my book! (Rating: 5.00) Review : What a game! Besides Scrabble, how many other board (or is it bored?) games can boast these qualities? - It's entertaining. No matter how many times you play, you will never, ever play the same game twice. - It's educational. You improve in the game by improving your vocabulary. What other game will cause your kids to grab for a dictionary with enthusiasm? - It's not flashy or made of grody plastic. Nope, Scrabble's got a board and nice little wooden pews to hold the little wooden tiles. - It involves strategy and chance. Winning Scrabble gives some serious boasting rights compared to other board games such as Life, where a lot depends on blind luck. Yet chance does play a role in Scrabble, because which letters you draw determines how your game will proceed. All in all, I can not think of another board game other than chess, checkers and a few other classics, that I have actively played as many times or with as much enjoyment as Scrabble. My mother would be proud to hear me say it, too. Buy this game. Force your kids to play. Don't let them win. You'll be surprised when they eventually beat you, and they'll thank you for it. Well how about "speed Scrabble" a new way to play without using the board. Each player takes five tiles and makes a scrabble matrix. As soon as one player uses all five tiles, he say's "take two" and everyone has to grap two more. You can change your matrix at any time and you build it using standard Scrabble rules. When the tiles are finished, score like normal and subtract unused tiles. Can be played with any number of people, just open up another game and mix the tiles together. As for the normal way to play, my only objection is the time spent waiting for other players to move and the fact that through bad luck you can get six vowels and the "Q", but other than those minor objections, this is one great game. A classic. Highly recommended. I grew up playing this game, and now that my children are learning to read they are being introduced to the game. The only complaint I've heard about the game is that it can take a while to finish. That aside, this is an excellent game -- it makes players think not only about what words they can make with their letters, but about game strategy as well. That is, how to best use their letters to maximize their own score while providing as few opportunities for opponents to build. A great game for building critical thinking and spelling and vocabulary skills. 5 stars all the way! |
