Scrabble - my favourite board game.

[January]

Always enjoyed it but not played much in last few years as nobody to play with.

About 6 months ago a lady new to our town started up a Scrabble club - every Thurs evening, no commitment, come when you come. We usually have between 10 - 15 people per night, play different players each week. Range of abilities but we all help beginners.
Meet in a local Cafe,no cost, just buy a coffee or some food to support the Cafe hosting us.

That sounds like a lot of fun. 10-15 people is impressive for such a new club. I like Scrabble also but I haven't played the board version in a long time. I play an Scrabble like game on my phone called Word Feud with a few others people. It's similar to the more popular Words With Friends but is less flashy .

My mother and I would play Scrabble when I'd go visit her.

She was still beating me at 95. She was relentless.

During my late twenties while I suffered 3 years of painful medical issues and could barely eat any food, though could go to work in my career, I occupied my time at home outside of work by playing, absorbed in a type of solo Scrabble I invented.

I memorized many special high value words, including definitions, that are published in advanced Scrabble books, especially all the 2 letter words one can use to place words in adjacent parallel with other words already added.

Since then, have only very occasionally played the standard game during social group occasions. I warn others, they may regret playing with me if I pick up numbers of vowels and then they find out why. Much like video games or card games or TV, I could and would enjoy, long ago decided to spend my leisure time on other pursuits. And am glad.

Scrabble is my favourite board game. I introduced my grandson to it when he was a lot younger and we'd regularly play after his school day. He's now almost 20 and we still play it when he comes round....he usually wins.
