Shabetz Na, or Scrabble in English, is a board game inspired by crossword puzzles. The game is designed for 2-6 players. Two to four players create words on a 15×15 grid board using playing tiles with letters printed on them. The goal is to score points, with the number of points earned by the player in each turn depending on the fixed score for each letter, the type of squares on which the letters were placed and the number of valid words they created on the board. Creating interlocking words using the game pieces – the letters – like a crossword puzzle. Each letter has a point value indicated by a number on the game piece. Each participant competes to achieve the highest number of points, by combining their letters by placing them on the squares of the game board in a way that takes advantage of the given opportunity to double or triple the point value. One of the most popular board games of all time.
Box: 40×18 cm. Tears at the edges of the box. Minor peeling on the game board. Good condition.
