The classic game in a deluxe folding edition, providing luxurious play, portability, and convenient storage. Features an oversized, rotating board game with raised grid and wood framing. Wood letter tiles are 25% larger than a standard game, with matching wood tile racks, and deluxe scorebook. 21"w x 20"h when open. 10 ½"w x 20"h when folded.

In this classic word game, players use their seven drawn letter-tiles to form words on the gameboard. Each word laid out earns points based on the commonality of the letters used, with certain board spaces giving bonuses. But a word can only be played if it uses at least one already-played tile or adds to an already-played word. This leads to slightly tactical play, as potential words are rejected because they would give an opponent too much access to the better bonus spaces.

Skip-a-cross was licensed by Selchow & Righter and manufactured by Cadaco. Both games have identical rules but Skip-a-cross has tiles and racks made of cardboard instead of wood. The game was also published because not enough Scrabble games were manufactured to meet the demand.
