Scrabble – The game that never gets old
Another gift my son wants for Christmas is Scrabble. From Wikipedia:
Scrabble is a word game in which two to four players score points by forming words from individual lettered tiles on a game board marked with a 15-by-15 grid. The words are formed across and down in crossword fashion and must appear in a standard dictionary. Official reference works (e.g. The Official Scrabble Players Dictionary, now in its 4th edition) provide a list of permissible words.
Now that he can read and write quite well he is comfortable with building words and once he has tried Scrabble in daycare he’s very excited about having his own.
There are several versions and editions available. I guess I’m going to buy the Classic Scrabble but I’m quite impressed with the Scrabble, Diamond Anniversary Edition
The mechanism of the game is the same but some new features were added:
- The raised-grid style of the board guarantees that your words won’t slip or slide out of place
- Organize your tiles on a curved tile rack that provides an optimum view of each letter
- Store the game pieces in two built-in side trays
- All new colors and a rotating game board with recessed spaces
I believe I will be pleased to play this game with my son however it will be a little difficult to prevent my daughter from ruin the game.
