Scrabble Board Game Vtg 1953 Word Game in Burgundy Box COMPLETE

Scrabble Board Game Vtg 1953 Word Game in Burgundy Box COMPLETE. Retro, vintage scrabble from the 1950's, one of the original scrabble games made. Made in USA. Vintage 1953 scrabble board game by Selchow and Righter. Game is complete, no missing tiles. Box corners are intact. Instructions are printed on inside box cover. Game is in excellent vintage condition, gently used when first purchased, then safely stored in a cool dry place. Comes from a smoke-free/pet-free home. Description: In this classic word game, players use their seven drawn letter-tiles to form words on the gameboard. Each word laid out earns points based on the commonality of the letters used, with certain board spaces giving bonuses. But a word can only be played if it uses at least one already-played tile or adds to an already-played word. This leads to slightly tactical play, as potential words are rejected because they would give an opponent too much access to the better bonus spaces.
