Scrabble Night
There is (sadly) no Scrabble group at all in Toledo. The nearest one is in Ann Arbor (which actually has more than one, I think). They meet every Wednesday at a pub for a few hours of friendly games. I try to go up about once a month as it's an hour's drive each way for me.
I intended on setting up my table-top tripod and taking some really neat shots tonight. But I got so wrapped up in my games (I went 2 for 2) that I completely forgot to take a picture until I was ready to leave! This shot sums up the night pretty well, however - fancy, rotating boards are the norm and everyone (but me) has a well-worn Scrabble dictionary to use when verifying legal words played by their opponents. The core players in this group are very, very good - some have national rankings and have played in national tournaments. They are also very welcoming to newcomers and make it a point to share strategy and word lists, which makes for a fun mix.
Next time I will try to take a better photograph.

Wow, you're pretty hard core! LOL! I love playing scrabble, but I probably couldn't compete with people with worn out scrabble dictionaries.. Fun shot, which definitely tells the story of a serious scrabble player! Congrats on 2 for 2!
