minus-squareFlying Squidlink9•edit-22 months agoI’ve played Scrabble for decades and I didn’t even know there were any slurs allowed. Never in any game I have ever played do I remember a slur. Not even when playing against a computer. That’s how “woke” they’ve made this new version! Edit: After some searching, I found out that they only banned the N-word in tournament play in 2020. What the fuck, Hasbro? https://www.dicebreaker.com/games/scrabble/news/scrabble-community-bans-offensive-words
minus-squareNoIWontPickANamelinkfedilink2•2 months agoRight. lol They never needed that rule before. I aspire to be the reason a new rule is made.
