Mattel debuts collaborative way to play Scrabble in Scrabble Together

Ahead of Scrabble Day on April 13th, Mattel has launched a version of the game that comes with a collaborative way to play on the other side of the board.

Designed with inclusivity and collaboration in mind, Scrabble Together allows players to work as a team to complete goal cards at their chosen challenge level. It also comes with helper cards to aid players throughout the game, and a quicker play-time with simple scoring.

“Scrabble has truly stood the test of time as one of the most popular board games in history, and we want to ensure the game continues to be inclusive for all players,” said Ray Adler, Vice President, Global Head of Games at Mattel.

“For anyone who’s ever thought, “word games aren’t for me”, or felt a little intimidated by the Classic game, Scrabble Together Mode is an ideal option. With team based and faster gameplay, Scrabble Together mode continues to celebrate the wonder of words just as the Classic version does, but thanks to its exciting new co-operative and dynamic gameplay, it’s more accessible and brings people together. And players who prefer the classic version will continue to have the classic board game.”

The new version of Scrabble, that comes with Scrabble Together on the other side of the board, is available now.
