Designer Board Games

Andrew Clifford Capener's A-1 Scrabble Designer Edition

I love the game of Scrabble (perhaps a little too much), and I do like to think of myself as having an eye for design--so the A-1 Scrabble designer edition is something that I need to get my hands on asap. An interesting take on the classic board game, it brings a new level of taste to it.

Conceived by Andrew Clifford Capener, the A-1 Scrabble designer edition is played essentially the same, except for one tweak: you must strategize how to make the prettiest word, not a high-point one.

With that said, the A-1 Scrabble board and letter tiles are stunning to look at. The tiles feature different types and the board boasts a black, minimalistic look that makes it so the pieces could be framed.
