2. Scrabble
Scrabble was created by an architect named “Alfred Mosher Butts” and was initially called “Lexico.” It is played by a small group of people ranging from 2 to 4 and is one of the most loved family group games. However, the host can organize Scrabble tournaments by inviting more people to play in sub-groups and win the highest prize by beating other challengers.
