My wife loves to play Scrabble, but I think it is slow and boring. This game allows us to play a similar style game, but make it much more fun and fast paced. I love having to think quickly and creatively in my word choices. Tons of fun for two or more people. We usually take less tiles than recommend to make the game a little more fun and fast paced. I look forward to being able to use this when my son gets old enough to help him practice vocabulary words for school. I know many language arts teachers who use this in their class to make vocab. more fun!
