They’re taking out the scoring system and you have to do challenge cards such as getting a word on the border, making it horizontal or it has to have so many letters. The winner is the first person to do 20 of those.
My first thought was that. Many smaller board game makers are doing well with cooperative games, and it sounds like an easy way to do that with an established brand. Cooperative scrabble sounds like a lot of fun to me.
Sounds like the woke mind virus has gotten to you. Everyone knows Scrabble is about crushing your opponents and spicing your letter tiles with their tears.
sounds like a good move tbh, as someone who plays a lot of Scrabble and Bananagrams there’s a reason 80 percent of the time I reach for the latter. The scoring in Scrabble is probably the most annoying part of it - the “meta” that forms around specific placements thanks to 3X scores, the amount of times you will all just sit there in silence trying to find the maximum score instead of having fun
also the dictionary being rather small, in almost every game I’ve played, there will be many common words not in the dictionary, but plenty of obscure words.
How do you make Scrabble easier? The difficulty entirely depends upon your opponents.
More vowels maybe?
Two different bags, to separate out concenants and vowels, perhaps?
