Scrabble PDX

IMPORTANT NOTE: We typically get 6-10 players who are not on Meetup.com, so Meetup RSVPS are not reliable - please come if you are interested!

Join us at the Portland Scrabble Club: Weekly, Tuesday Nights at 6:15 (Games start at 6:30). Kairos United Church of Christ 4790 SE Logus Rd, Milwaukie OR. We play in the Circle Room in the building towards the back past the sanctuary. (Not associated with the church.) $5 to pay for the room. (Free for newcomers.) Newcomers get to use a common word list, get free challenges, and don't get any penalties for clock overtime. There are usually enough regular members with boards so that you don't need to bring one if you don't have one handy.

This group tends to be competitive - although all skill levels are welcome, expect challenging games with some of the better players - this is a great place to learn the strategies and words that excellent Scrabble players use. This can be your new home for Scrabble if your family or friends will not play with you because you are "too good." Come early to answer any questions you might have.

Come join us to play Social Scrabble every Wednesday at McMenamin's on Broadway and NE 15th in the Lloyd District. There is no charge. Your rsvp is always appreciated. If you have a Scrabble board, please bring it along!

Players of all skill levels are welcome. We have many excellent players so you can expect a good match regardless of your skill level. We play more informally, without the added pressure of a play clock. You may validate a word in the dictionary before your play. The use of a "word finder" search engine is not permitted.

We play two person games, beginning promptly at 5:45. If you rsvp, we will wait a few minutes for your arrival. The first game must be done by 6:55. After the first game, we pair players for a second game based upon scores.

Our official dictionary is the Merriam Webster Official Scrabble Players. Words likely to offend players of the game have been omitted from this edition.

If you want to play by NASPA rules, then you would enjoy playing with the Portland Scrabble Club which is an NASPA sanctioned club. They play on Tuesdays at Kairos-Milwaukie United Church.

This is a cross-posting from the "Game Night Concordia Commons" Meetup group. I will not be there.
Their description:
Our Unserious Scrabble game finishes in about an hour. We have three boards so as many as 12 can play. We have 11 "blank" tiles, plus each month has a theme. Players making a word on the theme get double points for that word. We have the latest "Scrabble Dictionary" on hand so that players can hunt for words using the tiles they have. No cell phone searches allowed, though. The games are part of Game Night in the Concordia Commons, 30th Ave. & NE Killingsworth St., and are sponsored by the Concordia Neighborhood Association. We start at 5:00 and end by 7:00 p.m.

Join us for some Scrabble games at the Lucky Labrador, 915 SE Hawthorne Blvd, Portland, OR 97214. Most Sundays: Noon-4PM. Free. All levels of players are welcome! Newcomers get a "common words list." Lots of extra boards/tiles are provided, so you can come even if you don't have a board handy.

Note that this club has a lot of regulars who aren't on meetup.com, so expect people there even if there aren't RSVPs here.

This is a great place to come if your friends/family will no longer play with you because you are "too good."
