Scrabble takes on typography
This intense game of scrabble was designed by Andrew Capener. It was brought to life while he studied his last year at BYU, and it gives players a chance to mix up the boring old game of scrabble by adding new typefaces to each word. It makes the game so much more creative, with a crazy mix of letters in each word. I don't usually enjoy scrabble, I feel like I can never actually win the game, but with this game, who knows how much fun I would had? A new design can add a new perspective to just about anything.
He took the time to make the board out of solid walnut, with the pieces magnetized to stick together. The bottom of the board is lined with non-slip cork, and the entire system fits into a birch box.
I think this take of the game scrabble is really innovative, I really enjoy it when someone can take something known and trusted and spin it into something of a higher value and increase the interest at the same time. It's a beautiful piece that any collector, or just an everyday person would want on their coffee table.
