The Best Family Christmas Gift Is Scrabble Premier Edition

Family and Friends love Game Night! Almost everyone in our group of friends love to play games. We have more fun and a better attitude after a night of laughter and trying to "one up each other!"

We have our favorite games to play including Mexican Train and Rummy Cube... but when we are up for a real challenge we play the Scrabble Crossword Game.

Several dictionaries are always handy. We have some very smart friends... but I don't always trust that they know what they are spelling. Especial after a few cocktails.

My biggest problem is that I am just about the worlds worst speller. Along with my poor handwriting which gives my big sister (the teacher), a headache.. I just can't seems to learn to spell. Thank goodness for spell check on computers. :)

I finally broke down and bought the Scrabble Premier Wood Edition
so I would be comfortable leaving it out all the time. We don't have small children any more and the dogs aren't interested in the tiles... so it looks good on the table. Like having a chess set, only this is something we actually play.


Scrabble Premier Wood Edition

The tiles store easily away in the drawer and the top swivels so everyone can easily see all the words with out getting a crick in their neck trying to look upside down.

The wood is very nice and the tiles feel like ivory. Their is a tiny gold toned grid on top of the playing area that keeps the tiles from shifting. Oh... and it comes with it's own timer, just to keep everything honest.

It is a fairly expensive game... and plays just the same as the old style paper board. But it looks great, and anyone who loves Scrabble or Crosswords will think your pretty special when they open the Premier Wood Scrabble Crossword Game on Christmas Day.

It has many wonderful features including something I love - a little drawer! I also love the raised grid so your tiles don't fall off. A good feature if you have to move the board at any stage. A lovely Christmas gift for the whole family.

Scrabble Slam Cards For More Family Fun!

Scrabble SlamFor a card games Scrabble Slam Cards
is pretty simple. Any four letter word is laid out on the table (CHUM, LUMP, GATE, etc) and the remaining cards are dealt out to each player. One important note is that the game is played by all players SIMULTANEOUSLY - which does get the pace picked up quite a bit. You have to be pretty quick in "slamming" a card down to create your new word while the other players are all trying to do the same thing. Thus the four-letter word is ever-changing.

Not all letters are present in the "deck" of 55 cards. There are no Q's and no X's, although there are couple of Z's and several Blanks (which can assume the form of whatever letter you want them to take, just like the Scrabble board game). Each card has two letters on it, one on the front and one on the back, and this allows the player a lot of flexibility to change words that are on the board.

Each player then takes it in turn to lay down a single card anywhere on the 4 letter word. For instance, player 1 may spell GRIM and player two lays down a P to make it GRIP. Player 1 may respond with a T making it TRIP. As the game progresses it can become somewhat challenging to make words out and needless to say that you'll want to get rid of the harder letters as soon as possible (Z, J, K, etc.) because if that's all you have left at the end of the game you're going to be in a world of hurt. The person with the fewest cards at the end of the game wins. If one wants to up the difficulty a bit simply up the number of letters in the word. Just making it 5 letters long had a noticeable effect and made it much more challenging.
