NEW YORK (NEWSnet/AP) — Scrabble is getting a makeover.

Mattel has unveiled a double-sided board that features both the classic word-building game and Scrabble Together, a rendition designed to be accessible “for anyone who finds word games intimidating.”

The new version, available now in Europe, is advertised as being more team-oriented and quicker to play. The update marks the first significant change to Scrabble’s board in more than 75 years, Mattel said Tuesday.

“We want to ensure the game continues to be inclusive for all players,” Ray Adler, vice president and global head of games at Mattel said in a prepared statement, noting that consumers will still be able to choose between the classic game and new version.

Scrabble Together is marketed to players of all ages. Jim Silver, a toy-industry expert and CEO of review site TTPM, said the double-sided board is a smart approach, because it allows players to switch from one mode to another as they wish.

It is uncertain if the new version will expand beyond Europe. Mattel, based in El Segundo, California, owns the rights to Scrabble, but Hasbro licenses the game in the U.S.
