Screw Trivial Pursuit and especially Monopoly.
Scrabble is perfect. Always different. Always challenging.
...and you learn a thing or two.
Did you know "qat" is a word in the english language?
Great word if you're stuck wih a "Q" without a "U".

I think it's the best game ever.

I love Scrabble and I like that the game is different each time too.
You can also get out a jam with the word "qi", and depending on where it's placed on the board, get a shitload of points. I quite enjoy "xi" and "xu" as well for their ability to give you big scores. |

They're definitely English words and part of the official Scrabble dictionary. I couldn't tell you what they mean, but you can use them and really piss people off when they challenge you. |

never give upFranklin, you'll get a game that will give just the right amount of consonants and vowels the whole game.
My best two player game score is 404. |

Pogo is a great place to play.
I also have a couple of games going with people through FB. Sometimes the game freezes but otherwise I don't have any issue with it. |

...and you learn a thing or two. If you're playing Scrabble, you can get a huge edge on your opponents by memorizing all of the Q words without U that are also shorter than 5 letters. It's a short list and almost always pays off if you get a Q. QADI QAT QATS QI QOPH (There are tons of 5 letter Q words without U, but I can't remember when I ever used one back when I played Scrabble more seriously. The tournament level players probably use them though) But Bananagrams > Scrabble |

I love using a few letters to make more than one word, when you're landlocked, and there's nowhere else to play. That's my favorite.

When they added Qi to the scrabble dictionary awhile back, it ruined the game. Too easy! You should have to wait for a U.
Also it ticks me off that DA is not a word but AA and AI and SH and OE are words. In the British game Da is legal. |

I tried to use "meh" once. The other players wouldn't let me - bastards!

I fucking hate Scrabble!
I always play with dipshits who use the Zs Xs and Ks to make two-letter abbreviations that are legal on the triple points spaces, while I actually come up with some legit words, but get punished for it. Until there's a 4 letter word minum rule, I'm never playing it again. |
