Since skunking my husband at Scrabble has become a weekly pastime… I decided to up our game.
Literally.
.
.
Bigger tiles for the where the hell did I leave my reading glasses now? visually challenged due to encroaching decrepitude crowd.
.
.
And a much bigger, fancier, wooden, swiveling board with raised ridges to keep the letters in place.
How much bigger?
.
.
Well, the box said giant and that’s a pretty apt description.
.
.
So far we’re loving it.
But I’m afraid it’s going to have to be a permanent decorative fixture… because if you think the board is big, you should see the friggin’ enormous box it came in.
.
What word did you make with those letters? Couldn’t see anything!

Nice board! Horrible letters, though. Hope you were able to play off a vowel or two.

Do you play in the Barn or the House?
Has your new cat had a chance to visit the Barn yet?

We’ve moved all games out to the barn. And kitty is still confined to the house for now….

Have Pokemon monsters made it into the Scrabble dictionary yet? You can almost make Snorlax for that rack in the first picture and probably get a good score….

That’s a good move! Pun intended. If I had anyone to play Scrabble with, I would buy that board. I have to play online, but growing up, my mother played me on the old blue Deluxe board, I really did love the clicking sound of placing tiles in the plexiglass boxes.

We have a very similar board with the raised edges. Some how the old board kept getting bumped and screwing up the whole game. The fact that it seem to happen more when I was losing is entirely inconsequential.
