Where To Find Scrabble
One of the best things about Scrabble is that whatever form or version you are seeking, there are many places where you can find it. All it takes is knowing what kind of Scrabble you are looking for. If your preference is for the basic board game version, this can be found in almost any department store or toy store in the United States.
Toys R Us, America's most popular toy store, carries a wide range of Scrabble games, beginning at only $11.99 for the basic version. Toys R Us also has the portable Scrabble game folio, the Disney Scrabble Junior game, the Spanish Scrabble edition, Super Scrabble, Scrabble Junior, the Deluxe Edition with turntable, and the Michael Graves Scrabble.
K-Mart, KB Toys, Target and Wal-Mart also sell Scrabble. If you prefer, you can purchase your Scrabble board game online, either directly from the Hasbro company, or from eToys or Amazon. The Mattel company also carries the Simpsons Scrabble, Dora Scrabble, and My First Scrabble, and, currently, a limited-stock Special Edition Pink Scrabble. The Mattel Scrabbles can be purchased through mail order.
If you would like your Scrabble in the CD-ROM form, Amazon has a number of them from which you can choose. The varieties and low prices offered by Amazon should make this your one-stop if this is the type of Scrabble game you want. Amazon currently has versions of Scrabble ranging from the basic original style to the Scrabble Championship Edition. Stating that the minimum requirement to use the CD-ROM includes Windows 98, it is important to check these details before purchasing Scrabble for use on your home computer.
NewEgg is another reputable online source where you can purchase your Scrabble. The Scrabble Champion Edition is currently listed at $19.99. Other good online sources are Office Depot and Circuit City. These two stores also have locations in most major cities.
If you wish to play Scrabble online instead, there are some sites which are the most popular. If you want to play against other Scrabble players, some of the top sites you should check out are the Pixie Pit, the Internet Scrabble Club, and Scrabulous. All of these sites offer you the opportunity to enjoy Scrabble with other players all over the world. In addition, Scrabulous also allows you to play Scrabble against the "robots," or by yourself in its Solitaire version. The Pixie Pit has a chat room, and also gives you the option of playing Scrabble by email.
Live, in-person Scrabble games can be found nearly anywhere. You can find formal and informal Scrabble clubs at elementary, middle, and high schools; on college campuses; in community centers and libraries all around the United States. In these places you may come together with people you already know, or meet many new people who are all there for the same purpose: playing and enjoying the game of Scrabble! Whichever form of Scrabble you like the best, and wherever you go to find it, it's sure to be a good experience.
