Scrabble is one of those games that has been around for ages.  You either love it or you don't.

We sell it in this, the bonanza version  where you get Classic Scrabble on one side of the board and Scrabble Together on the other.  Every one knows the classic version but Scrabble Together is a cooperative game in which you work together to solve word challenges.  If you can't do it, you use a help card.  You lose when you have used up all the help cards.  You win when you complete twenty challenges.

2 - 4 players

Age suitability: 10 - Adult

Introduce the delights of Scrabble to younger children.

For children starting to spell, one side of the board has pictures and clues for children to guess words that are already on the board (for example f--h paired with a picture of a fish).

On the other side of the board, older children can play a more conventional game of Scrabble, making up their own words but with bigger tiles and simpler scoring.

Contains : Double-sided board, 84 word tiles, 30 counters for scoring, and instructions.

2 - 4 players.

Age suitability: 6+

Ticket to Ride features in so many people's top 10 lists of board games and is often recommended to people new to the board game scene.  It is a stategy game in which you compete to connect cities by claiming train routes before your competitors can.

It comes in various formats.  The original one is based on North America.  This, the European one, has routes all over the continent from Edinburgh to Ankara which, unlike the original version, involves tunnels and ferries.
