Scrabble 60th Anniversary Edition - UK
From Mattel
Customer Reviews
A fantastic anniversary edition 
I'm now used to playing games with my children that have little durability, made out of thin plastic, that entertain for a matter of minutes. This edition of Scrabble has the educational and entertainment value that you expect from the normal versions, but looks fantastic and is hardwearing. I'm usually a sceptic when it comes to "Special" or "Anniversary" versions, however this is a celebration of a game that is timeless, with pieces that I expect to last my family long after the children left home.

Manufacturer's Description
For 60 years Scrabble has been challenging the world with its fun, demanding and sometimes maddening word play game. This special 60th Anniversary edition is ideal for collectors and fans of the game. It comes with a translucent board along with opaque green tiles with silver lettering. The iconic tile racks have also been given a radical makeover, and the box has metallic lettering and window packaging, making it a lovely gift for Scrabble fans, or those new to the game.
Did you know Scrabble was invented in 1931 by an unemployed architect named Alfred Butts? It was quietly played by just the inventor and his friends until 1948 when it began to be manufactured and sold. Scrabble is the world's bestselling word game and once people start playing this famous word game they are usually captivated for life. Each player must make the best use of 7 letter tiles drawn at random, taking turns to form words crossword-style across the playing board. Scores are given for letter values and are boosted by premium squares on the grid. The highest score at the end wins. This is a great opportunity to update and treat yourself to a brand new Scrabble.
