Literally nobody wants to play the Welsh version of Scrabble

It has sold more than 150 million copies in 121 countries across 29 different languages.

But Scrabble has yet to make it big in one nation: Wales.

In fact, the Welsh version of the game, known as Scrabble yn Gymraeg, is proving very difficult to shift.

Waterstones in Carmarthen, West Wales, has stocked five editions of the Welsh version for the past two years.

So far, it hasn’t managed to sell a single one.

As a result, it has cut the £24.99 sale price in half in a bid to entice board gamers.

“We thought Welsh Scrabble would be snapped up in our games section and not linger so long – especially in Carmarthen where we have and order so many Welsh books for our customers,’ branch manager Emma Morris told the Mail Online.

“But, ironically, we had one customer come to the counter with the Welsh version, only to ask if we had it in Polish.”

Welsh Scrabble doesn’t have X or Z tiles - those letters are not in the Welsh language - and pairs of letters, such as NG and RH, often make it on to one tile.
