New Beatles-Themed Board Game from USAopoly

Company: USAopoly
Product: Scrabble Beatles Edition

No, it's not Beatles-opoly. Yes, I know, that's what I first expected, as well. The Scrabble Beatles Edition makes its debut this Fall, giving Beatles fans an opportunity to interact with the Fab Four in a whole new way. Made by USAopoly under license from Hasbro and Apple Corps, the deal was brokered by Live Nation Merchandise, The Beatles North American licensing agent. The Scrabble Beatles Edition fits the bill for fans who have a way with words.

Completely customized with Anthology-informed design, the game features black Scrabble letter tiles, a themed tile bag and specialized grey racks. And what makes this game really unique? The iconic Scrabble game can still be played the traditional way OR fans can now infuse Beatles-inspired words into their gameplay for an altogether (now) different Scrabble experience. Twenty-six HELP! cards accompany this alternative gameplay allowing players opportunities to impact scoring, strategy... and their opponent's fates.


The Beatles Edition debuts Fall 2012 at North American specialty retailers including Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com with an approximate retail price of $29.95.
