First time folks, so be gentle. :)
Seems like fairly a great deal for Aussie Scrabble @ $10, as original RRP says $29, even though a quick comparison shows:

Kogan - $39
Myer - $39
Ebay - $33

Could not find the online link, elsewhere would have shared that as well. Anyways any Scrabble would cost around $25, so I believe it is a true bargain.

      I once scored 159 points with the word jumbrelephant which, of course, is a mixture of a large elephant and an umbrella.

      And "Aussie Scrabble" also includes special gameplay (like Strewth game cards, Aussie lingo list etc.)

      Everything ends in 'o'.

        Or ends in "y" or "ie".

        Infidel, you must be one of the upper crust strines…. you use unnecessary and complicated syllables like "li" in straylia… down where we come from we just say Straya mate. Struth!

          Bloody Southerner! Up here we have the time to add vowels we otherwise have no use for😉

          Strine is a spoken rather than written language - so no real rules for how it is written. Use varies across Oz.

          First time writer of Strine, long time user - please be gentle😂

    As an Australian I find these stereotypes very offensive, and will be creating a Facebook page encouraging everyone to boycott the makers of this monstrosity, as well as Big W, and OzBargain

      How can you find anything offensive if your name is "iforgotmysocks"?

  • canusich on 03/08/2018 - 21:15

    There was no clearance tag but it did scan through for $10. Lots of copies still in the Geelong Big W.

  • Kara-Murza on 03/08/2018 - 22:37

    So this version offers "new gameplay" relative to the regular version of Scrabble. Does anyone know if it's still possible to play a regular game of Scrabble with this set?

    • canusich on 03/08/2018 - 23:08

      After opening the box it seems you can just play normal scrabble, same 100 tiles and same board except they've added "strewth" to what was previously blank tiles to add to the "aussie" part.

      tl:dr Yes.

  • Waynes world on 03/08/2018 - 23:29

  • wisdomtooth on 04/08/2018 - 09:13

    Looks like it's a deal specific to a particular store (otherwise it'd be on the website). Which one?

    • NeverMissABargain on 04/08/2018 - 09:59

      It does not seem to be store specific as Big W Geelong has been confirmed along with Watergardens. Basically Big W site sucks and this product is not even listed.

      • canusich on 04/08/2018 - 13:48

        Also like I said the Geelong store didn't even have the clearance sticker but it did scan through for $10
