CARLSBAD, Calif., Sept. 21, 2023 - Usaopoly (The Op), the board game and puzzle publisher behind iconic licensed games and best-selling party games Telestrations®, Blank Slate™, and Hues and Cues™, today launched a whimsical twist on the traditional word game with SCRABBLE®: Dr. Seuss Edition. Based on Dr. Seuss's classic children's book collection, which has sold over 700 million copies globally, the game will enable fans to put their memories of Seussville and the wacky words that come with it to the ultimate test.
Under license by leading toy and game company Hasbro and played by traditional SCRABBLE® rules, players of all ages and vocabularies will come together to share their admiration of Dr. Seuss's timeless allegorical rhymes. Dr. Seuss readers big and small will strategically play regular words alongside nonsensical ones directly from their favorite Dr. Seuss books to score the most points.

Designed for 2-4 players, ages eight and up, the new game joins The Op's existing collection of Dr. Seuss products, including MONOPOLY®: Dr. Seuss Edition, CLUE®: The Grinch Edition, and a number of puzzles. The popular "Oh, the Places You'll Go!" 1000 Piece Puzzle features artwork from the classic inspirational book about life's many directions, giving fans of all generations another way to relive a favorite story as they piece together the colorful and nostalgic 11x18" frameable piece.
