WS Game Company launched its third exclusive Target collection, the 'Studio Collection,' debuting with a Studio Collection edition of SCRABBLE priced at $45.49. The vegan suede-wrapped, book-style box houses a full-sized folding board with foil detailing, all-wood letter tiles, a microsuede drawstring pouch and a sand timer, all designed to double as a stylish coffee-table accent.
The release builds on WS Game Company's design philosophy that beautiful games get played more often, following its earlier Hearth & Hand collaboration and the 2025 launch of The Library of Play line with Target.
WS Game Company shows how licensing classic Hasbro titles in premium, display-worthy formats can extend a game's relevance beyond traditional gameplay and position tabletop products as part of home décor.
