Mattel Makes New Version of Scrabble for Dum-Dums
Jack Guy, CNN:
Now, an updated game named Scrabble Together adds “a second side
to the board that is collaborative and faster-paced to make
gameplay more accessible for anyone who finds word games
intimidating,” according to a statement from Mattel published
Tuesday.
Instead of competing, players collaborate to complete goal cards,
and there are helper cards if assistance is required.
Mattel said it conducted research among British board-gamers that
shows that competitiveness is perceived as declining in younger
generations.
Being forced to play this version of the game sounds like the penalty one should suffer if they get caught cheating in the real version. Competition is one of the most fun things in the world.
