Scrabble
Did you know that scrabble was invented in 1931 by an unemployed architect? It was quietly played by just the inventor and his friends until 1948, and now it’s the world’s best-selling word game. But when did you last play? We now have scrabble sets available to play in our Riverside Cafe.
So whether you have a game with old friends, new friends or people you have only just met, this much loved game is sure to keep you captivated.
