Any "Board Game Geeks" here?

Also in that same game someone was Michael Jackson and they asked if they were black and it was the most awkward silence ever.

If someone didn't get the answer after that, I'd be very sad.

You know, in Scrabble there are entire books dedicated to tips like how to use a Q without a U. They include words like Qat, Qabbala, Tranq, and Qaids.

The fact that such a book exists is an indication of the problem. I don't need a book to tell me how to use my other letters.

Qabbala is probably invalid in standard Scrabble, BTW. It may be the original Hebrew definition, but most English dictionaries I've seen (required for Scrabble play) spell it Kabbalah, and don't include the "Q" spelling (ooh, and it's a proper noun, always capitalized, so, invalid). Also, "Tranq" is unallowed, as I can't find it in any dictionary I have (including dictionary.com), except possibly as an abbreviation for Tranquilizer, which is, again, invalid. So, yeah, half of your examples, invalid. Kind of, again, proving my point.

"Q" is still way too much of a pain in the butt.

Even the crossword nuts I play with agree that the lone "Q" is just too troublesome to use.

We should probably notify the people at the National Scrabble Championship, then.
