ASTAR Scrabble Challenge International (ASCI) has a lot to cheer about this year, as it marked its 12th anniversary with the theme “Scrabble Assemble: A World Beyond Words”.

According to ASCI 2018 publicity and public relations officer Hannah Tan, the theme embodied ASCI’s aim to create a community comprising individuals with a burning passion and zeal for Scrabble, despite originating from different countries and backgrounds.
