Welcome to the first full episode of A Copy of Our Home Game! — our series celebrating the board games, video games and electronic games based on classic TV game shows. This time, we’re opening up "TV Scrabble," based on the 1980s game show hosted by Chuck Woolery. We start with a look back at the history of the show, then play one full game using the home game’s original instructions. After that, we each take a turn playing under our own House Rules, designed to stay as close as possible to the television version — complete with graphics and sound effects inspired by the show. Along the way, we run into some very 1980s game-show/home-game moments: one of the first words we play has aged… badly, folded game sheets create an unexpected gameplay issue, and we discover just how tricky it can be to bring a TV studio format into the living room. Can a boxed home game capture the feel of the TV show? And do our House Rules make it better? Play along with us and find out.
