Summary
A game of Scrabble Juniors in a flat white cardboard box with a separate orange and blue cardboard lid bearing a picture of the Scrabble for Juniors board. Inside the lid are printed the rules for younger and older versions of the game. The board is reversible. On one side is a grid of thirteen cream coloured squares each way. On the other is a grid of fifteen blue squares each way, with some words already printed on it. In a plastic tray are a hundred letter tiles, and in a smaller space there should be a number of counters, which are missing. A folded cardboard block printed with more information about the games fills up the rest of the box. Total number of items is 105.
