Hasbro Scrabble Flash Game - Think Quickly!


Great news for all fans of Scrabble, the well-known game for wordsmiths; Hasbro decided to produce an electronic version of Scrabble, they call it Scrabble Flash Game and it was released in fall 2010. Because of all its great features and functions (see below), Hasbro Scrabble Flash is a great Christmas gift idea for 2010.

For a retail price of about $30, it is an affordable toy and though it might seem a little bit pricey, the price is great if you take into consideration that Scrabble Flash comes with a brand new technology called SmartLink. The Scrabble Flash package contains 5 electronic tiles that has a square shape (that's why the game is often called "Scrabble Flash Cubes"), instructions and a small plastic case, which is perfect to store the tiles in (it has a nice design and is very handy to store whole game to play on the move). Batteries that are essential to run the game are include.

Each of the five tiles has a small display. When you turn the game on, each of the displays will show a letter from the English alphabet. The goal of the game is to order these 5 letters to create a 3-, 4- or 5-letter English word. When you line the tiles up, they will recognise their position to one another. There are three game modes. Let's review the game modes in more detail:

1. The first game mode is called simply Scrabble Flash and you are supposed to spell as many 3-5-letter words as possible within 75 seconds. Regardless of length, when you create a word, you will get 1 point. In addition, when you create a 5-letter word, you will be given additional 5 seconds. When the time is over, the tiles will tell you how many points you have got and how many points it is possible to get maximum.

2. The second game type is called Scrabble Five Letter Flash. From the name, it is obvious that you will be forming 5-letter words and again, you have only 75 seconds to act. Unlike the first game mode, here you will get no additional time when you create a word, but you do create one, the letters on each display will change to 5 new ones.

3. The third mode's name is Scrabble Pass Flash and this is probably the most enjoyable game. Here you don't play on your own, but with your friends and there is no upper limit of players. You have a short amount of time to spell a 5-letter word and when you spell one, the tiles will say "next" and you should pass the Scrabble Flash Cubes to another player. On the other hand, when you fail to form a word, the tiles will say "out" meaning you have been eliminated out of the game.

The Scrabble Flash Game is perfect to play on the go (while you are travelling by tram, bus or waiting for food at a restaurant). You don't have to waste your time by doing nothing, instead, you can develop you fantasy and the quickness of thinking.








To buy Scrabble Flash, I would recommend visiting scrabbleflashgame.net, as they offer a discounted price on the toy. Please note that Scrabble Flash Game is one of the top Christmas gifts for 2010 and therefore can get sold out at any moment.
