Template:Realworld Star Trek Scrabble is a specially-themed edition of the board game Scrabble. The game was released in 2009 by Fundex Games (under license from Hasbro Games), timed to coincide with the release of Star Trek, although the game is specifically based on The Original Series rather than the new movie.
Game components
- One Star Trek-themed gameboard
- 100 Letter Tiles (in the same standard distribution as the basic Scrabble game)
- Four black/silver Tile Racks
- Instruction Book with listing of Bonus Words
Gameplay
The game plays much like standard Scrabble, with the addition that 79 specifically-noted Trek-related words (one each for the 79 original episodes) are worth extra bonus points (five, ten or twenty points) if played during the game. (The majority of these are names and places; proper nouns like these are not normally allowed in regular Scrabble.) Additionally, if you can play any legally-provable Klingon language word (as seen in any form of The Klingon Dictionary by Marc Okrand), the word earns fifteen additional bonus points.
One little treat for Trek fans is that the normal "Triple Score" (word and letter) squares are listed as "Tribble Score".
