Whether you're a scrabble newcomer or an expert, use trick cards to level the playing field by breaking the rules of Scrabble. Steal your opponent’s high score, make them lose their turn, even take advantage of a triple word score by playing a word anywhere on the board. So go ahead and break the rules. You know you want to!

In this twist on the classic word game, Scrabble, players use their seven drawn letter-tiles to form words on the gameboard. The twist is that now, proper names such as cities or celebrity names will now be allowed. Other twists include "playing words backwards or playing words unconnected to others on the board," Mattel said. The game is a limited edition and will not replace the original Scrabble.

Just like regular Scrabble, each word laid out earns points based on the commonality of the letters used, with certain board spaces giving bonuses. But a word can only be played if it uses at least one already-played tile or adds to an already-played word. This leads to slightly tactical play, as potential words are rejected because they would give an opponent too much access to the better bonus spaces.

Age 10+ for 2 – 4 players
