Did you know today, 13 April, is National Scrabble Day as it’s the inventor’s birthday?

Originally invented in 1938, all these years later it’s still a popular game which is the centre of many family nights - who doesn’t love a “Triple Word Score”!?

Scrabble is just one of the board games we provide for families to enjoy when they stay at our Ripple Retreat.

The Ripple Retreat is a place for families of young cancer patients in Scotland, to unwind during the most challenging of times, and spend quality time as family away from hospital stays, doctors appointments and other medical appointments.

We have a list of board games that are favourites with the families that have stayed at the Retreat in our Amazon Wishlist.

These include:

• Articulate

• Bananagrams

• Boggle

• Dabble

• Logo 

• Pictionary

• Qwirkle

• Rummikub Classic

• Rummikub Word

• Scrabble

• Scrabble Duplicate

• Scrabble Junior

• Uno

• 5 Second Rule

We would be delighted if you could take a look at this list and purchase one of these games for us. There’s no need to worry about getting it to us as items on the Wishlist are delivered direct.

Help us make nights in and rainy days at the Ripple Retreat extra special.

Thank you
