I’ve been playing Scrabulous which is like an online version of Scrabble and getting badly beaten every single time.
Ok, to be fair, I have beaten Sis a couple of times 
but overall, I’m the one being sorely beaten black and blue by my playmates. So, yesterday I decided enough was enough. Playing Scrabulous online is all well and good. However, nothing beats the feel of the smooth tiles and being able to arrange your words physically on your tile rack, rather like a word version of Mahjong?
So, I went off to Toys R Us and bought me a set of Travel Scrabble!
I opted for the travel version because the tiles lock in place on the board. It reminded me of the old set I used to have as a kid which locked into the board. Now, the packaging looks totally different and in my mind, less sturdy and refined, but its still a Scrabble set.
So, I hope to hone up my skills and maybe… just maybe… be the one doing the beating the next time round Also, I felt it was time I got off the computer on weekends after spending so much time on it during weekdays. And its been ages since I indulged in board games. A happy medium I guess.

I find that whether I win or lose at Scrabulous depends on what kind of alphabets I get! If I keep on drawing vowels… then my game kinda goes downhill from there.
I love Scrabulous! except I suck at it, pretty badly too… have to use the dictionary lookup all the time! LOL!
my motto: go for the red squares!
I used to read the Scrabble column in the papers and came to the conclusion only nerds would play this game seriously as it seemed to require one to memorise words of absolutely no conversational value.
(You can tell I got beat regularly in Scrabble)
Play Risk instead, PB. You’re good at that! Hehe.
Scrabulous is fun cos there’s no time limit, except I have to wait years for rinnah’s moves…
I play scrabulous too! But my games are getting Longer and Longer to complete….my bad!
Hey, I can only play Scrabulous from my home mah… so every night I make my move la. (Eh, that didn’t come out sounding quite right. LOL!)
