New Scrabble Rules

But isn't the whole point of Scrabble that you CAN'T use proper nouns?

Right, it's just an alternative version of the game, like the kiddie version of Clue in which you try to figure out who ate a cake instead of who bashed Mr. Boddy's head in with a blunt object.

"...you try to figure out who ate a cake..."

The answer to that riddle is usually: me.

Next: the Will & Grace edition of Scrabble, where 'spramp' is acceptable, available for $29.99.

Seriously, though, do you really need a whole other version of the game to let that rule change take effect? Couldn't you just sit down with the standard board and say, "Hey guys, tonight when we play, 'Mike Judge' and 'Tom Cruise'" are acceptable. As are zrbtt, cromulent and melmac." And then you play. No new board necessary. Savings to you: $24.99.

(yes, I picked those two celebrities for a reason!)

lol. yep, that's what we do for Scattergories. it still ends up with one couple leaving and fighting "that is so a word, place" or what have you and not talking. i have seen serious fights in that game.

We like to sometimes play "ghetto scrabble." As long as your word is spelled phonetically, and you can use it in a sentence, it's allowed. Some of the crazy phonetic slang we come up with amazes me to no end.

Cromulent - and embiggens -- and kwyjibo, right?
