Super Scrabble

Scrabble is one of my favorite board games, so when I saw Super Scrabble at the bookstore, I had to check it out.

The board is 21x21 instead of 15x15, for a total of 441 spaces instead of 225. Instead of 100 letter tiles, there are now 200, with different proportions (i.e. not just twice as many of each letter). Scoring is higher, as the corners are now quadruple word spaces instead of triple word spaces. Also, there are quadruple letter spaces.

It didn't take me long before I decided to buy it. What the heck. Besides, the standard game gets a bit crowded if there are more than two players so this should help alleviate that.
