Mattel will launch a new version of Scrabble that is designed to be more collaborative and accessible for those who find word games intimidating.
The new double-sided Scrabble board will still feature the original game for those who want to play the traditional version.
However, on the flip side there will be helper cards, and use of a simpler scoring system, with the game itself quicker to play.
BBC News says the cards provide help, prompts and clues that can be selected to match the player’s chosen challenge level.
The winner is the player who completes 20 challenges, while a player loses if they have used up all the helper cards and cannot complete a goal.
The new board, Scrabble Together, will also allow people to compete in teams.
Mattel said the new board marks the first time in its 75-year history that Scrabble has made such a significant change to its classic board.
