Away from the world of retro computer hardware, my other passion is playing Scrabble. I'm quite an expert (I play in the highest divisions on an online league). I just discovered that April 13 is National Scrabble Day. So, if you play - Happy Scrabbling Smile

I see that you are on Master Level so Happy Scrabbling Smile
In Covid times I'm looking for board games to play with some of family members. Scrabble is in the circle of my interest but I don't know rules and don't know if that fits for games between 2 persons ?

Yes, 2 to 4 players can play, so it would fit for you. The rules are quite simple once you get used to it. https://scrabble.hasbro.com/en-us/rules describes the game better than I can. I play by tournament rules, using Collins English dictionary as the list of valid words, but you can use any dictionary (I don't know what Polish dictionaries you could use).
