Polyglot SCRABBLE® came to Seattle!
The American Translator's Association had their
annual conference
in Seattle the week of November 9-12, 2005. As part of the conference, they hosted a "Scrabble Social"
for their members where they played "Polyglot Scrabble" the evening of November 11th.
What is Polyglot Scrabble? It's Scrabble where you can make words in any language in the same
game. John Chew organized an event for the group the previous year when they met in Toronto. Read all about it at
his website.
Mike Frentz and Dan Goodwin organized the event here in Seattle. Thanks guys!
