Move along, nothing to see here.
Some marketing exec at Mattel has just earned his annual bonus by putting Scrabble on the front pages, and got it discussed online all over the place.
Has the board changed? No.
Have the letters changed? No.
Do you have to change how you play the game? No.
Has competition Scrabble changed? No.
If you buy a new Scrabble set (as opposed to Scrabble Classic, I assume) it will have a different paragraph in a little booklet nobody reads anyway...

it's only the rules that have changed, so you can play the game how you like. Size Nine Elm said:

And there will be new sets available to link up with the PR they have generated - 'NEW' Scrabble or 'New for 2010' or maybe even 'Beginners Scrabble'. And for the less observant buyer, they will probably go for the newer product at an infated price.Well done Mattel - good marketing there...!

As if that wasn't bad enough, it received a triple score and won the game for the character, whose name was Camilla
