Description
In Scarabeo, a classic Italian word game, players use letter-tiles to form words on the gameboard, earning points based on the commonality of the letters used. The game requires strategic thinking, as each word must use at least one already-played tile, making it a fun and tactical experience for 2 to 4 players. With easy-to-learn rules, Scarabeo is a great option for those who enjoy word games and are looking for a challenge that can be completed in about 90 minutes. Designed by Aldo Pasetti in 1963, Scarabeo has a rich history, having been self-produced by the designer and later published by Editrice Giochi after a notable trial. The game's unique mechanics, combining spelling and tile placement, make it an engaging experience for players, as they try to outmaneuver each other to earn the most points.
