45 POINTS ON A TRIPLE WORD

After a week playing the iphone version of scrabble, we decided to crack out the board and tile version found in a box! This wasn’t your ordinary scrabble though. It was 50^th anniversary limited addition version including velvet tile bag! There was something strangely unconvincing about the certificate of authenticity inside the box (stictly 40,000 sets made). It is rather vexatious how any apparent discernment of articulation you thought you had desultorily turns into a benign vocabulary of four letter words made of no more than two syllables when the scrabble gauntlet is laid down. 

Scrabble from a box on a Saturday night. Note the 70’esque room décor also.
