04/02/2007 | It is always fun to see what you can make out of some random letters. Even if you have to start the game with "a"

01/07/2007 | A good game, most people would consider it a classic. Sometimes excessively frustrating.

07/18/2006 | Developed in 1948 (and originally called Lexico and Criss-Cross Words by creator Alfred Butts), Scrabble is another near-perfect family game. I remember getting a deluxe version (the board was heavy plastic, had indentions to hold the tiles, and spun around) for Christmas one year. One is hard-pressed to think of a better way to remember new vocabulary than winning or losing a word challenge. Nevertheless, the fact that my interest has faded and the luck factor of Scrabble (i.e. which letters are pulled) costs some stars.

05/07/2006 | As frustrating as scrabble cn be sometimes, its also incredibly fun and again, one of those games that makes you feel smart when you win.

04/01/2006 | I've loved this game my whole life. I started as a kid and it has fueled a love of words which has made me a better reader and writer. I downloaded a Scrabble game from the internet where you can play against the computer. I play daily. My fiance is good with words and since we've been playing each other we've scored in the 400s. Great family game.

07/14/2005 | This is definitely not for morons! You need a little bit of luck but it would be well to review some of the obscure words that you can use with the high value tiles. That will give you a decided edge.

01/29/2005 | Let's not understate the factor of luck in winning this game. If somehow you repeatedly end up with seven vowels at the beginning of each turn, you're going to lose no matter how voluminous your vocabulary may be.

01/28/2005 | A very good game, which, considering the spelling abilities of a good number of reviewers, is achieving a surprisingly high rating. UPDATE: GoneAway, I assume your comment about going through spells with this game was a deliberate pun.

01/28/2005 | I have always loved playing scrabble. Got to love that triple word score when you have a word that begins with the letters QU.

12/18/2003 | Another great game for the bright and verbally unchallenged. It's fun to get people to challenge you on a bizarre word... there is opportunity for bluffing a little like in poker.

08/07/2003 | I love playing Scrabble. I was the Scrabble champion at my school, and it is a great game for kids to play because it can help expand your thinking. Which is better than some stupid games people choose to play.

03/27/2003 | This game has a happy combination of strategy, vocabulary, and flexibility. Scrabble is one of those games that's fun for casual gamers but also rewards the more serious players. Plus, unlike other addictions, Scrabble leaves the fanatic with a larger vocabulary, better spelling, and a generally more agile mind. And if the regular game gets boring - or you need to level the playing field against word nerds - there are Phonetic Scrabble, Dirty Scrabble, and The Word of Apocalyptic Destruction variants (among endless others) to keep things exciting.

01/22/2003 | It's a great word power game, a way to expand the vocabulary. Plus, it's funny to hear what kind of words intoxicated people can come up with when played at those wild parties.

01/06/2003 | I abolutely adore this game, but I prefer playing this against the computer instead of a human being. There is a version called 'Scabout' that you can download for free from the internet.
I think this game takes a lot of skill, strategy and good usage of the English language. Its great when you can build a word up, such as 'film' and also getting words such as'helix'.
Its so satisfying when you beat the computer as well.

07/02/2002 | Ah, the immortal Scrabble! Oh, how I miss that cool Gameshow. But, the board game rocks the house too! A highly-enjoyable multiplayer game (there is also solitare scrabble and a PC/PSX game too) for the whole family, it takes intelligence, strategy, and a little bit of humor for a good time.

11/10/2001 | Not my favorite of board games, but it's still a very good one. It challenges you to use what letters you have to express how much sophistication of vocabulary you can create with the resources at your disposal.

10/16/2001 | Scrabble is one of the best games ever and my absolute favorite. If I could have one game on a desert island, or Survivor!- it would definately be Scrabble. The game is never the same twice and its a challenge to make your letters count for the most points each time. Its thrilling to know if you put your "z" on a "triple letter score", it's 30 points right there. Scrabble is great with family or even on a date - just add wine and a fireplace. I am going to splurge and finally buy myself the deluxe addition for my birthday this year.

04/14/2001 | Scrabble just isn't a board game that I got into playing alot, mainly because all of the tiles go all over the place and taht really annoys me. The other reason is that the game gets so confusing and you make up these stuid words, and get so embarrassed when someone tells you that it's not a word, and it's just really weird.

12/13/2000 | Scrabble is very good in many ways. It teaches kids how to spell and learn to connect words and really develop spelling and english. For the older crowd it's fun because there are no limitations to what you can do. It's a fun, family game that any age can play. It serves everyone.

12/11/2000 | It's a great game because it makes you spell. I suck at spelling so it helped me. Also, it used strategy to get points and it's fun to challenge people's words. It's a good family game and I play it with my mom sometimes. It makes for some family bonding.

11/22/2000 | A great game of creativity and brains. I guess luck of the draw on pieces counts too. It's a fun game that can end up taking hours to finish, but it's all worth it in the end, that is, if you win.

10/03/2000 | I guess it is a good educational tool for kids, and I do remember playing and enjoying it. However, now I don't think I would look forward to a good ol' game of Scrabble after a busy day. It doesn't seem very relaxing, takes too much brain power for me.

02/08/2000 | Scrabble is a wonderful game, but can be frustrating if your letters are A,E,U,O,A,E,I or L,K,B,M,R,C,T (a combination of those two hands would be fine though).
