A group for folks who like to get together for friendly Scrabble games and socializing in the Santa Cruz (CA) area. We welcome players of all interests and playing styles who want to have fun.

We use the OSPD (Official Scrabble Players Dictionary) for guidance. We are also somewhat flexible and emphasize camaraderie over competition. To foster friendliness, and keep the atmosphere positive and upbeat, we eschew racial epithets and other words of that ilk (which are, of course, not in the OSPD).

We play on the 4th Sunday of the month from 2 PM to 4 PM (currently at Dharma's on Capitola Road in Capitola). We generally have time for two successive games. We play different styles, including one-on-one, foursomes, Super Scrabble, no-score games, cumulative score games, etc. Different playing styles increase the skills of everyone.

Our goal is to have fun while socializing, and to learn from each while we teach each other.
