We asked for, and received, a Swedish Scrabble set for Chrimbo. Having played Scrabble since I was 12, I found it nearly impossible to play in another language.

That said, we did get a combined score of 571. Pretty standard, though in the two weeks following we got a more respectable 700 and something. I even managed to get all my letters out on a triple-word score with “nuddades.”
