The makers of Scrabble found that younger people, Gen Z people, don’t quite like the competitive nature of Scrabble," Brandreth said. "They want a game where you can simply enjoy language, words, being together and having fun creating words."
Brett Smitheram, a previous World Scrabble Champion, said the new version of the game "speaks to a trend in younger people who want to avoid competitive games and sense of losing, instead favouring teamwork and collaboration working towards a fun goal together."
Although, some people online have been quick to criticize the move, calling it "Scrabble for Snowflakes" and "Woke Scrabble" on X.
Does this mean they get to just make words up in the newer version

I think it means that you need help making up words. That’s funny and sickening all at once.

My kids are Gen Z, they have no problem crushing your soul, talking shit, and winning. Always helps putting a quarter on it. The amount of shit talk during cornhole should be recorded.

I have never understood the cornhole thing? We pitched horseshoes. But I guess that’s considered to dangerous today?😂 |

Cornhole is fun but not intellectually challenging.

We are in trouble when they have to “dumb up” a historical game like Scrabble.

They haven't gotten rid of Scrabble or replaced it. Mattel simply introduced a new version called Scrabble Together. It has original scrabble on one side and the new game on the other. You can play either way that suits your fancy.
Why people get worked up over a silly board game is beyond me.

Seems like folks really go out of their way to find things that piss them off. Scrabble bringing out a new version affects my life zilch. |
