I remember, as a kid, having family game night. A lot of my family members would get together at my aunt's house and play board games. My favorite was always Scrabble. This game will never get old with me. Anyone can play it.

Anywhere from 2 - 4 people can play Scrabble and it's recommended they are at least 8 years old. It comes with a game board, 4 wooden tile trays, 100 wood tiles, and a tile bag. The object of the game is to score as many points as possible.

 First you select seven letters. From those seven letters you form crosswords, you build words with letters already placed on the board. Depending on the letter and how many letters you used is how you score. There are also spaces on the board for bonuses, like Triple Word Score, Double Letter Score, etc. Placing a letter on one of those can boost your score! And if you have nothing to play, you can pass or exchange your tiles.There are variations to the rules and points but those are just the basics.

I plan to start my kids out young with Scrabble Jr. Then, eventually, someday the whole family can enjoy Scrabble. For now though, it's just my husband and I. I love this game and always will. It builds vocabulary, teaches strategy, and it's fun! Everyone should have a game night and play Scrabble.

Actually I have the old-style one. I didn't notice it was a different Scrabble until after I reviewed it. I didn't look at the pic =)

I love scrabble, but the Mister is dyslexic, so no word games! Is this the one where the letters snap into squares? Old scrabbles were easy to mess up and swipe all the letters off the board

I LOVE Scrabble! Can you believe I played this game for 20 years before I knew that you could build off of a word and not just build through it!! What an idiot! I accused my friend of cheating and felt so stupid when she showed me the rules :)

You need to move to CA so we can REALLY go shopping and we can play Scrabble!!
