Steve E Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 You may have heard that the rules of Scrabble are being dumbed down for the Millennial Generation. Scary, right? But it's not true. Mattel in the U.K. is planning to launch Scrabble Trickster, a "souped-up" version of Scrabble in which players in some circumstances will be able to play proper nouns (such as "Scrabble"), steal tiles from rivals and even spell words backwards. Standard Scrabble will continue to be sold with the standard rules. Here's one article. There are many. Rest easy Scrabblers, - Thoth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
