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.

Rummikub is a tile game and claims to be the UK's no.1 family stategy game.  The tiles are numbered 1 to 13 in four colours. Each player starts with fourteen tiles and tries to discard them in sets, three or more of the same number but in different colours, or runs, three or more consecutive numbers in the same colour. The first to clear his tiles is the winner.

Rummikub was invented in Romania 70 years ago by Ephraim Hertzano following the Romanian government's decision to ban card games.  It works on a similar principle to a central European card game called Vatikan, played with two packs of cards, with tiles substituting for cards.  Initially Mr Hertzano made every game himself, carefully cutting and painting each tile by hand in his little workshop.  Word spread about the game and it slowly began to be exported.  In 1977, it became one of the best-selling games in America.  In 1980 it won Game of the Year in Germany and other awards in Holland and Poland in subsequent years. It is now exported to more than 50 countries from a high-tech factory in Israel still run by the Hertzano family.
