I once had "quetzals" played on me... with the q on a double letter, across a triple word score. Yes, it cleared the rack. (playing games in my family sucks)

@soggy_cheerio: Trust me. You don't want to play games in my family. If it's not a Mayfair, or Ravensberger game, you don't want to play it. Although, we had every Avalon Hill game, and that's not too bad. We used to play Civilization, every time we got snowed in. My brother almost got into a fisticuffs with his fiance over a game of "Diplomacy". And, I've also seen people draw knives over much more pedantic games.

Best board games?

For children: Ravensberger's "The Amazing Labyrinth"

For thinkers: Mayfair's "Settlers of Catan"

For those with time to kill: Avalon Hill's "Civilization"

Well, given the size of the pieces, I suppose keeping your letter options a secret is a bit out of the question.

I wonder if anyone messes with them by pulling up and rearranging the stones?

Good thing they're not playing the official version otherwise they'd have a hell of a time trying to turn over the giant sand timer..

Apples to Apples has definitely got to be one of the worst games ever... right next to Pit and Russian Roulette.

@scarbrtj: I don't know what you just said, but that keyboard is most assuredly "QUIXOTRY on a triple word score" awesome.

Were Scrabble Letters always that big? I still have mine that still smells like fresh wood. Piece of History.

@judacris: Close up pics on the linked site show he glued the tiles onto pieces of wood to make the keys thicker. They also light up which is a nice touch as well.

Thanx for sharing this new keyboard. I'm a Scrabble fanatic. So I'll definitely be getting this keyboard to replace a very worn out keyboard.

I promise I won't get mad at who gave this clown comment ability as long as it gets revoked pronto.

@discounteggroll: One of the Facebookers who got in free. I have been seeing lots of complaints from BFB (BeforeFaceBook) commenters about them. Some will stay, but when the novelty wears off, a lot of them will leave. Just ride it out.

@Curves: I'll admit, as a BFB commenter, this pisses me off. Mainly because quite a few of the posts are ass-quality/uneducated.

@alexmg2420: I dont dislike all the Facebookers, (someone, I think Stider, called them the "Great Unwashed Masses") and, in fact, many FBs have made good comments that contributed to the posts overall, and I hope they are the ones who stay. The less than quality FBs will eventually filter to the bottom of the bowl and be flushed away with the tides of time.
