Scrabble is a great thinking, learning game. It also a great game for kids to learn new words and makes them think how words are formed.The 1955 version looks pretty much the same as the modern version and the tiles are scored exactly the same. The only real face lifts to Scrabble have been to the design of the box.
this edition came out in 1955. This board game is another thing that people collect with a passion. When released it had wooden tile racks and a black cloth linen tile bag. I sold one of these a few days ago it sold on a Buy it now for £12.49
This edition of Scrabble actually belonged to me. I bought it in the mid 80's when I was in the Army, probably to relieve the boredom at that time. Quite hard to come by now I sold this for £27.99. Which if I remember rightly was a bit more than I paid for it new
Like the deluxe version this one is quite hard to come by but if you do come across one "buy it". I paid £3.00 for this one at a car boot sale and it was in immaculate condition and didn't look like it had been ever played. I think I under priced it sold within a few hours for £23.99.
Scrabble is one of the few games I will buy a modern used edition. It has such a good following they're still really easy to sell of and usually bring about £10 to £11.50 depending on the time of year, board games will sell a lot better in the winter months.
Still Really popular This edition is from 1955 and is in amazing condition. These usually sell for £8.00 to £10.00
Risk again has had a few face lifts over the years and there are a lot of different variations for the game. Transformers Lord Of The Rings, Star Wars Risk has also gone on line and some of the Dawn of War 40K games are variations of the Risk board game.
Risk is an amazing game the more that play the better the game is. Its played like a strategy game by completing the missions you have on the card you draw at the beginning of the game. You might get "own 24 territories" or "wipe the blue player from the game". When I played it it was beat up the kid no one liked. He would fend off one attack only to be hit from somewhere else on the next go and as the saying goes "you can't win em all" (never mind its all Character building stuff)
This is the game I remember playing there are two sets of rules. One for long games and one for quick games. Risk is still hugely popular. The last one I sold managed to bring £27.99 which I paid 50p for at a car boot sale.
Another game I have no problem with buying the modern version. Even when used the game still sells really well. This one sold on a buy it for £17.99 within ten days.
This is one of the Risk Variants I struggled a bit with this one to sell it and it stuck around for a few months. I paid £2.50 for it and It sold a month or so later for £14.49 so not the greatest mark up but it did O.K and I still made some money.
