LONDON (TND) – A new version of Scrabble is set to be released
for the first time in 75 years and the updated rendition of the
iconic board game is reportedly aimed at a Gen Z audience.

The updated version, to be released in Europe, will include two
sides, one side with the original game for players who want to
stick to the traditional version and a second, "less competitive"
version to appeal to Gen Z players, BBC first reported.

The second side, called Scrabble Together, will include helper
cards, using a simpler scoring system that will be quicker to
play and allow people to play in teams.

Broadcaster and British Scrabble president, Gyles Brandreth,
told BBC Radio 4 Today that Mattel, the maker of the game,
had done some research and found that younger, Gen Z people
don’t like the "competitive nature" of the game as much as older generations. In response, he said the newer version would be
"easier" and "more inclusive."
