Those of you who have followed my blog for awhile know that my husband and I are avid Scrabble players. We are very competitive and have kept a record of our scores since 2008. I tell my story in:
Confessions of a Scrabble Addict!
We have been known to wake up at 4 am and, not being able to go back to sleep, get up and play a game of Scrabble before heading back to bed. Since we play with a Super Scrabble board which has twice the number of tiles for a normal game and a much larger board, it can take us two to three hours to play a game It doesn’t help that we are so competitive and often take minutes to find the right word.
Currently we are at game number 928. We want to make it to 1000 games by the end of the year. Since there are only 78 days left in the year this means we can only skip six days without a game.
Since we are retired and winter is fast coming to our home in Michigan, I think we can make it.
Right now in our 928 games I have won 464, my husband has won 460 with four ties. Recently a friend said she did not think we could have that many ties or be that close in games won and suggested that one of us was letting the other win. Obviously while she is a friend she is not a close friend. Otherwise she would know how competitive we are and how we would NEVER let the other one win.
Questions:
When we reach that milestone who will be ahead in the total number of games won?
What should the winner of the most games receive as a prize?
What should the loser of the most games have to do for ending up behind?
Any ideas? I would love to have your input on these questions.
I think the winner should get to choose their own prize – something they’ve been hoping for. The loser has to buy it for them. 😊

Maybe a new game would be a good prize as you’ll probably be fed up with scrabble?

I doubt we will be fed up with Scrabble. We love it! However, a new game might be good for a chance of pace. Any suggestions?

There are so many games I like I hardly know where to start. Dobble is good for a quick game that can be played many ways. Or since you like scrabble have you tried Upwords?

No. I have looked at Upwords. Thanks for the suggestion. We will have to try it – after we reach our 1000 goal.

Sounds good to me! However, since our money is all pooled together – hard to say the loser paid for it.

I think the winner should receive a qintar.

But would it spend in the USA?

You would be able to use it in a Scrabble game if you didn’t have a “u”.

😂😂928 games 😳 I understand the competition among spouse although I admit we’ve never stuck with anything this long 😂😂 I think it’s possible for you to be the winner, the loser should prepare a meal for the winner

A meal for the winner! Great idea!

I have no doubt that you can and will do it! As far as the questions go I would have to think about those and ponder on them for a bit. Or I could be lying and just being a big chicken to answer. I love your competitive spirits and I really do think you should vlog the last game. Much love to you both my friends.
