Article summary: There is a new cooperative version of scrabble. The play testers assembled by the author didn’t like it.
I really don’t get how this is woke at all. Just seems like an attempt to get an audience who wouldn’t play Scrabble to play Scrabble? Is that was woke is now shifting market demographics?
Relatedly, I fancied a game of scrabble so I went to re-download the app the other day.
They got rid of the original, excellent, app, and now have a monstrosity of chest rewards, power ups and other nonsense in what is known as scrabble go. Fucking jokers
Anything that makes life better or easier for someone other than yourself is woke now.
The adoption of the word woke needs to start being mocked. Woke bingo. It’s become absurd and is allowing the right wing to turn everything they don’t like into some sort of political identity badge that people might not want. It’s shrewd and fucking annoying. The young left have absolutely screwed us with their nonsense during the cancel culture me too years.
People have always played Scrabble collaboratively. It can be fun with people you’ve played with for years to aim for the highest scoring board as well as playing to win.
Not sure why this idea needs a new product but money I guess..

I recall playing a letter tile to word game about 10 years ago – Banana Gram or something. It was collaborative and competitive. I rather enjoyed it. I even annoyed the clever person, when I found a word they missed.
Most Scrabble apps are full of horny people who are also surprisingly good at Scrabble
Co-operative game modes are far from anything new. Some games are solely co-op. You can tell which peoples boardgame experience ends with the monopoly and cluedo
