I knew a couple of people in prison that were insane at scrabble, they knew all the 2 letter words and many 3 letter ones. I'd look at the board and it'd seem like half of the poo poo on there wasn't even english.

Oddly enough there are prison rules for scrabble, they take out all the blanks and a certain letter. I want to say J but I might be wrong, I -think- it might have been one of the high point letters. Reason being they said was that it made the game unbalanced. I could never come close to competing with them.

Actionjackson, you talked about prison Scrabble having special balance rules. Are there any commonly-known balance problems with Scrabble? Most games played at a competitive level have identified balance issues.

Yeah that was me, I have no idea why they took out the letter or why it would make a difference since either side could use said letter. It was a universal thing though for every group that played it even semi-regularly.
