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.

Get your hot boyfriend (or a beautiful GI) to get them for you on base!

Very Happy

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.

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.
