This course explores the fascinating contrast between friendly Scrabble games and high-level tournament play. Learn about the equipment used in competitive play (special boards, tiles, clocks), what it takes to compete at a national level, and the history of the tournament scene. Each session will include time to apply what you’ve learned through casual gameplay. Whether you're a lifelong fan or just curious, you'll come away with new strategies and a deeper appreciation of the game.
