FAQs

Why is Scrabble grouped with games like Charades and Trivial Pursuit?

Scrabble is the tree's one dedicated word game and is grouped here rather than given its own singleton category.

Party and Word Games covers social games played in a group for entertainment rather than sustained strategic depth, including Charades, Pictionary, Taboo and Trivial Pursuit. Scrabble is included as the tree's one dedicated word game, grouped here rather than given its own singleton category, since it shares the casual group setting of the other games in this family.
