What's the approximate price for board games and card games in Korea?

Ie. scrabble
uno
etc.

Depends on the store. I've seen scrabble prices ranging from 40,000 to 80,000.

If you're asking because you're wondering whether to bring such board games over, let me give you a tip for Scrabble: simply photocopy the board back home, as well as all the tiles. Then, it's really lightweight and easy to bring over. You can mount the pieces on card if you need to make it stronger.

Scrabble about 27,000 won last time I bought it. Upwords about same.
Uno cards about 8000
Monopoly, English only between 40-45,000
Bilingual Monopoly if you can find it, 20-25000 (maybe Home Plus)

I'm probably not looking in the right places, but all the board games I've looked at (here in Busan) have been around 80,000.

As for Scrabble, I remember seeing Scrabble scrapbooking paper back home at a craft store. They had sheets with the board on it, and sheets with the tiles. It was a little smaller than a real board, but quite inexpensive.

They had other games, too, like Candyland, but those might not be so useful.

Anyone remember the old game "Masterpiece"?

I think that would be a good one. Good for numbers 100,000 - million.



"Careers" would be good too.
