    Sounds like we might have a few folks interested in playing our own LTH invention, Scrapple (Scrabble where food-related words earn extra points; we've played both competitively and just goofing off, so please don't be intimidated). We've done it in cafés but I'd also be willing to host here as well (the food will be cheaper and no need to tip!). We are in Norwood Park, a bit east of O'Hare.

    So... if you'd like to Scrapple, subscribe to this thread and let us know what your preferred day/time and place are, and we'll get this going again!

    My preference would be a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, any weekend after June 1.

    My schedule varies, so post what works best for you and I'll show up when I can! I can't wait. I've been practicing.

    i have little scrabble experience because i'm terrible at it and therefore don't like to play. i also find it annoying how good players memorize bizarre, little used words that give them huge points..... but i've got plenty of free time, so would love to play 'scrapple'. post what's good for you, mamagotcha, and i'll try to come. justjoan

    This month filled up fast for me... how about 1p.m. on Sunday, June 30, at our place?

    I don't think I can make that one after all. :( Hopefully there will be another chance down the line.

    We only have one board, so yes please bring extras if you have them!

    And yes, please feel free to bring munchies to share!

    I'll have to let you know in a couple of weeks. My parents will be in town and not sure what my schedule will look like.

    Hi,

    How many people can play scrapple at the same time? Isn't it four?

    Anywhere between 2-4 on one board.

    And we have enough space to have three or four boards going at once.

    We still have time! And I might have a friend or two show up. Bill (Chouxfly) will be here, too.

    i'm awfully sorry, but i'm going to have to back out of playing scrapple. i'd love to play another day but the 30th isn't going to work for me.

    It doesn't look like anyone is planning to come, so we'll go ahead and cancel.

    I'll console myself with a jaunt to Mitsuwa.

    OK, sounds weird enough where I'll try it on Words With Friends. Same handle.
