Scrabble debuts on Sky

net1

Mattel has inked a deal with Sky which will see Scrabble become available for the first time ever on digital TV through the Sky Gamestar platform. The iTV version lets Sky viewers tackle up to three opponents or play against the Scrabble computer. It contains the official Scrabble dictionary which automatically checks the legality and score of each word. The game will join other board game favourites on the portal such as Monopoly and Who Wants to be a Millionaire? Users pay 75p per play session, or gamers can purchase electronic Day passes that enable them to play a series of games all day for a single price.
