PARTY SCRABBLE® The classic word game has a contemporary new theme with a timing feature! Score points by placing words on the playing board. But this is not ordinary Scrabble®.

For two or more teams. Ages 10 and over.
Party Scrabble supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The catalogue lists Party Scrabble for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Party Scrabble has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game.
