If you had to choose between playing a game of Scrabble or playing Monopoly, what would you pick? We have friends coming over and they want to play board games. Not sure what to start with.

I like both, but there seems to be more fun in monopoly with a few friends. The other is a thinking game and I get bored waiting and waiting for someone to think of something. Have fun whatever you decide.

Hmm... depends. If it's just two people it would always be Scrabble. If it's a group (like you're talking about) could go either way -- just depends on how tired my brain is that day!

Definately Scrabble for me. It's my favorite game. My cousin and I used to get into really long tournaments and play for hours upon end. We even have parts of the Scrabble dictionary memorized.

I really enjoy any word games. Search a word. Crossword Puzzles and the like. I have played Monopoly many times as well. I still prefer Scrabble.

I'd probably choose scrabble. Monopoly has a tendency to go on for hours unless you put some kind of time limit in there.

It depends on the mood. If you're in a very competitive mood, I'd say monopoly. If you're in a thinking mood, Scrabble. Scrabble is my favorite board game of all time, though!

Both games are good games but to my opinion , to make it more exciting, monopoly is best. Scrabble can be a little too serious for a group of people to play. Its nice to get people laughing and joking with monopoly.Its got more group vibe to the game so i prefer that over scrabble for you and your friends.

Definitely Scrabble for me. You didn't mention it, but Yahtzee is a hit when we have a group of people.
