Box corners are intact. Instructions are printed on inside box cover. Game is in excellent vintage condition, gently used when first purchased, then safely stored in a cool dry place. Comes from a smoke-free/pet-free home.
DIMENSIONS, approx: 10.75'' Wide * 5.25'' Deep * 2.75'' High
Description:
In this classic word game, players use their seven drawn letter-tiles to form words on the gameboard. Each word laid out earns points based on the commonality of the letters used, with certain board spaces giving bonuses. But a word can only be played if it uses at least one already-played tile or adds to an already-played word. This leads to slightly tactical play, as potential words are rejected because they would give an opponent too much access to the better bonus spaces.
