How long does it take two people to play one game of scrabble? And...what in the world are the rules?!
Well, I think for my Mom and Christian the average time is three hours and the rules...well... they change when points are on the line or something like that :) During Thanksgiving, on our 12 hour trip to Kansas, they played all the way there and all the way back. There was even time for my mom to take short naps inbetween turns. Heidi and I teamed up in one game...we were the third place winners!!! Mean while my Dad to busy driving and listening to how bad the Green Bay Packers are losing. ;) Sorry Dad. So then we get tired of the flat landscape and stop for some eats. But anyways, back to scrabble...
There used to be a time when we didn't have the car version of scrabble ( the tiles snap onto the board). I remember one such trip and at one point, flying down the road in my parents van, Christian had one of the bucket seats in the back disconnected and moved to look for a tile. WOW! Good thing our windows are tinted. By the way, we still have problems with tiles popping off but luckily this time no seat removal was necessary for locating tiles. To top it off, they both usually end the game at around 400 points each. I think that might be in the 'scrabble professional' range.:) It's nice to know that they have fun and provide laughs for the rest of the passengers with the words they come up with. So if I had one last word for this 'Scrabble for Hours' post it would be ummm...hmmm...well...urrr...drawing a blank...big blank...blank tile I guess. No points for me:(

Scrabble in a car - what'll they think of next? When I was growing up, we were so poor we couldn't afford letters. We had to play in the dirt with rocks and bugs, which was hard because the bugs kept crawling around and you can't spell words with rocks and bugs anyway.
None of that is true. But we did play without a board for years, which can be loads of fun...
Next time tell the bug to sit still and don't move.
