This tournament is hosted at Aster Gardens - 7 Brower Drive, Sherwood Park.

 

Join Us for a Friendly Scrabble Tournament!

If you love words, laughter, and a little friendly competition, our Casual Scrabble Tournament is the perfect way to spend an afternoon. This event is designed especially for older adults who enjoy the game but don’t want anything too serious or high‑pressure. Whether you’re a longtime Scrabble fan or someone who just likes to play for fun, you’ll fit right in.

 

What to Expect

Our Scrabble tournament is all about connection, creativity, and community. You’ll play short, relaxed rounds with different partners, meet new people, and enjoy the fun of building words without worrying about complicated tournament rules.

 

We’ll have:

  • A warm, welcoming atmosphere

  • Easy‑to‑follow instructions

  • Light refreshments

  • Small prizes for top scorers

  • Lots of laughs and friendly chatter

  •  

This is not a competitive, official Scrabble event — it’s a social gathering with a game at the centre of it.

 

Who Can Join?

Everyone! You don’t need to be a Scrabble expert. You don’t need to know every two‑letter word ever invented. You just need to enjoy the game and be open to having fun.

 

Why a Casual Tournament?

Traditional Scrabble tournaments can be intense — timers, strict rules, and serious players. That’s not what we’re doing here. Our version is:

  • Slower paced

  • More social

  • Less about winning

  • More about enjoying the moment

If you’ve ever thought, “I’d love to play, but I don’t want to feel pressured,” this is the event for you.

 

There are a limited number of spots so please register early!

How to Register

To help us with planning, please pre-register for this event. And remember to bring a friend!
