It can be quite an intensive game to play. Depends who you are going to be playing it with. My children have got Upwords and they enjoy playing that, still I've never tried them with scrabble. If you don't buy it though you'll never know what it's like so yes, go for it!
On the whole it`s quite good ,there are various levels of difficulty for you work your way through. If you have no one to play the board game with it`s a good way to pass the time. Another game is trivia machine I enjoy if you are looking for recommendations
