Vote for Scrabble!


Election day? Vote for Scrabble. The board has no prejudices, a good economic policy, and supports anything great.

However, it can get a bit rowdy, and in this case offensive. That is of course depending on your offended sensitivity level. I am not easily offended. Probably not offend at all, ever. In fact, I think this is the most hilarious board I've ever seen.

This particular game was played at Buzz in Alexandria, and the winning player (not me), won because he was overly confident about a word that we were less than confident to challenge it. What word was it? I'll give you a hint, it was ZU. What's a zu? Well, if you're the player that put those two letters down, on a triple word score (totaling 33 points), a "zu" is a "You know, its ZU! Zu! Zu is totally a word!". Some people are criminal.

Aside from "zu" are other game by game favorite words such as, "zits", "oxen", and my personal favorite "qua". I learned all about "qua" from playing Bookworm. Bookworm is my other favorite word game, and I'm much better at it than Scrabble. Anyways, "qua" is a fantastic word that will make some people be like "thats ain't no WORRRRRD", and others say "WORD!" and then copy your word with their own "qua".

As you can see "shit" and "fucker" both made the board. I managed to pull both right out of the bag at different times, and couldn't see any reason not to play them. The player that won decided the picture need his hand flipping off the board too. I agree with his action, but it was a bit silly, and I don't think the board took too kindly to his disrespect.
