Scrabble on Speed. I find the game stimulating and so different from other games I’ve played. I am most skilled verbally (but math scares the hell out of me), and this game is a challenge because Scrabble Slam Deluxe Card Game is played with only 4 letter words, so vocabulary is not of much concern. I like it for me as an elder citizen (62 y/o) because I feel it keeps me verbally alert at an important time in my life to do that. I like it a lot because I can play with my friends and my 5 & 6 year old great-nieces. Also, it is very compact and can easily be played on a plane or in a car, etc. Anyone can play and most everyone will enjoy its fast paced structure, ease for all ages, and super-easy to take it along when traveling. Plus, it will keep the kids occupied, adults can play with kids, and it will keep adults occupied as time flies by! Even though I have good verbal skills, I am not the winner in at least 3/4 of the games I play. I can write, I know words, and think/speak well “on my feet,” but I am just not as fast as many others! They love that!!

One of my friends and I play regular Scrabble just about every time she can get here or I can to her home (we live over 25 miles apart) and we started keeping count, and use a steno pad for keeping record of each game. We are up to #125. We had many more games before we started this steno pad, keeping the pages numbered. Some might say we’re a bit obsessive/compulsive but we just keep on playing. Both of us experience what we call “Jonesing” for a game after about 4 days without playing!
