I love Why Be Board! I go there for every gift I every need- for kids or adults. The owners, Sharon & Keith Williams, along with their helpers are very helpful & know a lot about all of the games in the store. You won't find that at a KB or Toys R Us, although YOU CAN FIND SCRABBLE at those places.You can also find Scrabble in a Rite Aid or CVS, so why in the world would a store w/ this much variety, this much class carry a game that you could buy when you're picking up your medicine at the drug store??? If you haven't been there, I suggest you plan a trip. It's a lot of fun in that store!!
