<\/p>\nScrabble, the classic family-favourite word-forming game, has now launched a local version with over 150 proudly South African words included in the game. After years of research and development, to tailor the game to local culture, Scrabble South Africa is now available nationwide.<\/p>\n
The 2-year process of development of the local version of Scrabble stems from the need of South Africans to own and engage with our own culture and identity through words. Scrabble has long been a staple in the collection of board games in households across South Africa, and now, local consumers will be able to\u00a0enjoy the game in a whole new way by connecting to the words and terms that make the South African vocabulary so colourful.<\/p>\n

Scrabble South Africa Brand Manager, Angelika Sansotta says, this new version of Scrabble will encourage a wider audience to engage with words and word-play as they will feel more represented. \u201cSouth Africans are such a diverse population and a local Scrabble was a great way to bring all of us together in a unified way as we have so many cultures and languages and that can all identify with elements of this game. This is an item which will bring all our cultures and languages together.\u201d<\/p>\n
This special edition, not only contains over 150 local words, but also lets players enjoy a local twist on their Chance Cards, with koeksisters and Chakalaka while Strength Cards feature Shongololos and Bunny Chow, just to name a few.<\/p>\n
