Scrabble
In this classic word game, players use their seven drawn letter-tiles to form words on the gameboard. Each word laid out earns points based on the commonality of the letters used, with certain board spaces giving bonuses. But a word can only be played if it uses at least one already-played tile or adds to an already-played word. This leads to slightly tactical play, as potential words are rejected because they would give an opponent too much access to the better bonus spaces.

Skip-a-cross was licensed by Selchow & Righter and manufactured by Cadaco. Both games have identical rules but Skip-a-cross has tiles and racks made of cardboard instead of wood. The game was also published because not enough Scrabble games were manufactured to meet the demand.

Es genial, sobre todo si logras palabras largas, muy satisfactorio
Its more about getting the right spaces on the board that building the best words. I prefer Upwords, Quiddler, Word Domination and Paperback for word games focused on coming up with the best words. Handsome is also a good one
un clásico, nerdo.
Es un juego que me trae buenas memorias, sólo por eso está en el siguiente puesto.
2-4 J. (2 mejor). Todo un clásico de los juegos de palabras. La primera versión a la que jugué fué la de Intelect (Falomir). Ahora tengo la versión original.
Otro de los bisabuelos. Y muy respetable, además.
Para alguna partida ocasional...
