Perhaps the fascination of SCRABBLE lies in the fact that the game combines just the right amount of luck with just the right amount of skill. This book is written for the average-level living room player who generally scores about 250 points per game, and who would like to become a strong living room player (or a competent club player) with an average score of 300 - 350 points per game. Written with a minimalist approach, the book includes only those concepts and word lists that are absolutely mandatory for excelling. Minimalizing further, a pull-out "crib-sheet" is included.
