|
|
Any of you know where to buy cool English learning board-games, the likes of Scrabble; Jeopardy etc.
Scrabble rocks! I need a new set though, and I'm in dire need of some other games too.
Any advice? |

Are you in Seoul? There are a number of ESL bookstores and regular bookstores (Kyobo) that sell games like Scrabble, Outburst, Pictionary and the like. |

Are you out in the sticks or in another "major" city? There has to be a place that sells ESL books and supplies (and possibly games) where you live. |

kyobo bookstore has scrabble for sale and other games too i think. scrabble comes in at a "hefty" 30000 won. i've heard people say that is a high price. having never personally looked into the price of scrabble i have no basis for comparison. but other people say it is high, apparently. |

Superhero suggested:
However, Amazon will not deliver games internationally and Walmart does not deliver internationally. The kumquat site looks good though. Thanks superhero! |

I checked out the kumquat site and they don't have much that we are used to seeing - like Scrabble, Uno, etc... Still, it's the first site i've seen that will deliver games over here. |
