Hasbro’s Catch Phrase Has new Hot Look: Scrabble & Boggle Catch Phrase

October 1, 2012 by Momstart 15 Comments

Catch Phrase is a game we love to play with company. It’s a quick paced game that keeps everyone on their feet trying to guess words. Now the game gets an overall with the partnering of Scrabble and Boggle.

Scrabble Catch Phrase 2012 leftSCRABBLE CATCH PHRASE
(Approximate Retail Price: $19.99; Recommended Age: 8 and up; Players: 4 or more)
A refreshed version of the classic CATCH PHRASE game joins the SCRABBLE family in 2012. Families won’t want to put down the SCRABBLE CATCH PHRASE game as they frantically try to get their teammates to guess each phrase. It’s a frenzied game of grabbing, guessing and passing – just don’t be caught holding the game unit when the buzzer sounds!

SCRABBLE BOGGLE
(Approximate Retail Price: $14.99; Recommended Age: 8 and up; Players: 1 or more)
A refreshed version of the classic BOGGLE game joins the SCRABBLE game family in 2012. Players will be hooked on finding as many words as possible as the three-minute timer counts down. The fully enclosed case comes with a built-in timer so all players have to do is shake, set and play! SCRABBLE BOGGLE is even better with the new Double Word Scoring feature. If you can make a word that contains the highlighted bonus letters you score twice as many points as your friends!

Family Game Night This Week We’re Playing Scrabble Slam

February 24, 2011 by Momstart 9 Comments

imageRemember a few weeks ago we were playing Ratuki as a family? I’m a very strong proponent for playing games together as a family, even when the game may drive me insane. Family time makes strong happy families. As long as you are spending time together you know what everyone is up too. It’s easy to sneak in conversation while playing a fun game.

Now I received a new game from Hasbro, Scrabble Slam when I was at BlogHer last year and I’m just not getting around to writing about it. I put it in the Christmas Present box, I was going to give it to my husband in his Christmas Stocking, but then we decided not to do adult stockings, so, it was still shelved  until last month.

 

 

Scrabble Slam game directions and instructions:

Scrabble Slam is a fast paced word card game. To play, you put four cards down to spell out any word that the players can all agree on. Then you deal out all the remaining cards to 2-4 players. The more players playing the fewer cards you have to hold in your hands.

Then you place one card down at a time spelling a new word until all of your cards are played. There are no turns you just play as fast as you can. The player that discards all of their cards first is the winner. Each Card has two letters on it, one on each side of the card and it is up to you to decide to choose which letter you want to play. See the example below.

Scrabble Slam Cards

It is a very fast paced game and I had the advantage at first when I was playing against my husband. He was overwhelmed by having so many cards in his hand at one time, as soon as he was down a few cards, he caught up and won the game. Scrabble Slam is for ages 8+ for 2-4 players.

imageWe had a lot of fun playing Scrabble Slam, it’s a quick game and easy to play if you don’t have a lot of time to spend together. You know, Monopoly takes a long time, if you don’t have time to play Monopoly, my personal favorite game, then play Scrabble Slam!

What’s Wrong with this picture?

April 13, 2009 by MomStart 3 Comments

Hasbro, there is something wrong with this picture. Yes the mom is happy and I suppose when she’s playing Scrabble she’s going to be happy. I can make that stretch, but, what is the baby doing around the Scrabble Board. Scrabble pieces are chocking hazards.

This raises the questions, do babies and puppies really help items sell? When I see a dog commercial, sometimes I can’t even tell you what the commercial was about. I just see a cute dog and I want to play with it.
