Polyglot Scrabble

Today I received an email from someone at Mattel, the owners of Scrabble, about their plans to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of Scrabble this year.

One idea they’re working on is to run a polyglot Scrabble game where you can play Scrabble in a number of languages at the same time. It’s likely to be staged in Spain and there will be a monetary prize for the winner.

They’d like to tap into a network of people who speak a number of languages who might represent their countries. Do you belong to or know of any Scrabble clubs or organisations that might be interested in this? Or might you be interested in it yourself?

If you can help, please contact Philip Nelkon at Mattel Games.
