Scrabble Vintage Bookshelf Edition
The Classic Word Creation Board Game
by WS Game Company
The Game:
In
the 1930's, during the Depression, an unemployed architect named Alfred
M. Butts invented a boardgame using letter tiles and a scoring system.
He first called it Lexico and then Criss Cross Words, but it remained
relatively unknown until he teamed with entrepreneur James Bruno, who
trademark the name Scrabble. The newly named game first rolled off the
production line in 1948 and has been wildly successful ever since.
Every
Letter Counts: Scrabble is the ultimate crossword game in which every
letter counts. Grab your friends and take turns forming words on the
board. After playing your turn, count the value of all the letters in
every new word that you formed. Don't forget the bonus points for
placing letters on premium squares. Double letter - Triple word. It's
all about playing words on the high-scoring hotspots to get ahead.
Played a Q on a triple-letter score? Your score just got a lot bigger.
Use all your 7 tiles in one turn, and score a whopping 50 points in
addition to your word score! Knowing the rules and a few tricks will
help you to score more points and improve your chances of winning. At
the end of the game, the player with the highest score wins.
