About this product
Scrabble is the classic board game that always spells F-U-N! Consisting of interlocking words, crossword fashion, onto a playing board, Scrabble game challenges players to spell out words using letter tiles with various score values.
The object of the game is to get the highest score, and scores are given for letter values and boosted by premium squares on the grid. Words can read either across or down, and your word must use a letter tile already in play on the board.

Customers Say
Classic Scrabble game praised for fun, family engagement, educational value, and good quality, though some note quality is less than vintage sets. The double-sided board adds variety and excitement.

Classic game
This was exactly as described. Have played several times already. Excellent game (despite not winning!) Possibly not the same quality as the 50 year old one we lost in a house move, but certainly good enough. In no way disappointed. Chose to buy from Argos rather than Amazon as want to support high street.

Great game
Makes you think and challenging but also good fun whatching each other’s reactions trying to find the words

Family Scrabble
Great to get back to gaming again. I never realised just how competitive this game makes you. With the kids joining in its a great learning experience for them both in words and numbers.

Best purchase
So pleased i purchased this, bought to try and train our brains and stop the doom scrolling, played multiple games every night since. Really good quality set and got it at a great price. Best purchase of the year so far

Best option
I bought this on a whim after seeing it played on TV. There were cheaper options on Amazon but I didn't trust the overseas sellers with grainy photos and Argos is a name I trust.
