I’m confused. Isn’t the base rule of the game “if it’s in the dictionary then it’s allowed, and if it’s not in the dictionary then it isn’t”?
How is the game woke?
dickti… discu… disjona… wordbook woke.
I know I should be getting the joke on this one but sadly I’m missing it.
They’re mimicking someone who’s trying to say the word dictionary but ironically lacks the diction to articulate it and instead says ‘wordbook’
It is humorous because of the implication that extreme right wingers ala Fox news and it’s viewers are illiterate hillbillies. They’re not. They’re just insane.
I posted this elsewhere in the thread. Apparently the N-word was only banned from tournament play four years ago. I shit you not. So I guess that’s what they’re mad about.
Not that I like that word but the only rules we run by is literally if it’s in the dictionary “Websters” then it’s allowed. But it’s interesting that the tournament has banned it, but not surprising.
There is an official Scrabble dictionary that tournaments go with. They can put in and take out whatever they want. They could have taken it out a long time ago.
I doubt that their viewers play Scrabble…
I doubt their viewers could spell scrabble.
I’m offended that
- the new version is released in Europe, only, and Amazon doesn’t have it in the US store
- Hasbro web site won’t let me shop unless I tell them my birthday
the new version is released in Europe
Europeans will appreciate it far more. Americans, in general, don’t understand why cooperative board games are so much better than competitive. It was such a revelation when I tried my first (and still favorite) cooperative game- Scotland Yard. Admittedly, competition is still a small part of the game, but the idea that you could play a board game and the point wasn’t to destroy everyone else? I didn’t even realize it was a concept.
Words are too woke. Because if you know too many of them and put them in specific orders you can learn anything.
