    Scrabble Board Game

    The Scrabble Board Game is a word-based board game where two to four players earn points by forming words from the letter tiles and combining them with previous letters on the game board. The standard Scrabble gameboard is 15×15 in size.

    How to Play Scrabble

    Scrabble is a classic battle where every word counts! Using letter tiles, players take turns spelling out words in a crossword fashion to score as many points as possible.

    Each playing board comes with a bag that holds and conceals the letter tiles. Players select 7 letter tiles at random from the bag and place them on their personal rack. Now, the challenge is to make the best word you can by using any of the tiles you chose. Included in the bag are two blank tiles that can be played as any letter! continue reading>>

    Connect 4 or Four in a row

    Four in a Row, also more commonly known as Hasbro MB Games ‘Connect 4’ or Captain’s Mistress is a straightforward strategy game in which counters are dropped down vertical shoots with the objective of getting four counters in a row horizontally, vertically or diagonally.

    Origins and History

    It is not exactly known when the first Four in a Row game appeared. There are claims and whispers of legend that it may have been a game which was around in Captain Cooks time and was carved or made by hand and played to pass time. This could just be a myth and the only slight link or claim is when a Washington company in 1987 copyrighted a version called Captains Mistress, and on the packaging, they claim on voyages this was played, but of course, no way to prove one way or another.

    Milton Bradley MB Games (now Hasbro) started selling their massively successful version of the game called Connect 4 in February 1974 (1976 in UK).

    But the game has certainly been around for much longer, In a book by Robbie Bell, there is a picture of a 4 in a row game that he references “Four Balls”. It is a wooden game made to exactly the same design. There is also higher quality example through being made from Mahogany with beach balls for pieces. Bell says that the date of the game is uncertain but it is estimated that it is Edwardian c. 1901 – 1910. On the bottom of the game in gold lettering is inscribed “Remy Martin Cognac”.

    Copycat versions

    Apart from Hasbro’s Connect 4, many modern games manufacturers make a version of Four in A Row from small cheap plastic travel versions to larger wooden versions.

    Since the turn of the century a boom in the production of Giant versions of the game for parties and events in the UK company Garden Games market a version licenced by Hasbro called Giant Connect 4, in the USA it is called ‘Up for It’.

    In Spanish a company Feber market it as ‘Mega 4 in a Line’ – another brightly coloured robust Giant version of Four in a Row that can be seen all over the place in garden centres and play areas etc. The old veteran games company Jaques make a Four in a Row game called ‘Score Four’ that they also make it a very large version.

    Another corollary game derived from Four in a Row is a 3D version of the game. This was first sold by a company called Funtastic in 1968 under the name Score 4 and again clones of it abound to this day – including the inevitable Hasbro version. The classic version of the game, however, is made from wood and consists of a 4 x 4 grid of vertical poles sticking up from aboard. Players drop wooden beads down the poles.

    Jenga GIANT

    Jenga GIANT

    Ok, so you must have played Jenga classic or the normal version before but have you tried the larger version Jenga Giant? This is more suited to outdoor events, BBQ, parties where you have a bit more space and can walk around it.

    Unfortunately we don’t have the space for really huge giant versions, usually around 8x the size of the normal tiny normal version, check the version you are looking at and you will find they are typically around 4ft-5ft tall, which means it is often better suited to a flat surface on a flat wall, or a table, unless you want to be bending down more and more. Of course, this at least makes it kinda portable and not needing a huge trailer to get the blocks to your location.

    Some versions also come with a large holdall type bag so you can simply put them inside and carry them in that instead.

    I have played this larger version many many times in the office as part of a Friday fun timeout, or as part of team challenges it always goes down well as a cool game to try and brings back memories.

Play solo by yourself and beat your own highest tower. Friends around? Break out the blocks, stack them up, and go. You can play it safe and pull the loosest block you can find. Or take a chance on a block that’s a tighter fit. The tower may crash or stand, but either way, it’s the ultimate block party!

    jenga classic wooden toy

    It’s all about the blocks. Build the tower by stacking layers of blocks. Then take turns pulling just the right block carefully from the main tower.

    The tower might wobble or teeter, but as long as it doesn’t fall you’re still in the game. As the blocks head upwards, the suspense grows.

    Keep the blocks balanced, and upright and you win!

    I think Jenga must be one of the games as a kid most people used to play loads, especially around a friends house or after school, I would usually get bored of it after a half a dozen or so times especially the putting the blocks back into the plastic and making it back into a tower. I liked the slightly tactical and steady hand nature of it. Unfortunately, it didn’t make a couple of times playing giant Jenga any easier.
