X But exists in OpenSuSE At least one scrabble game must be included in Mageia. There are 22 scrabble games listed at http://freecode.com/search?q=scrabble&submit=Search I have tried xscrabble which works well but looks old. I have also tried Scrabble-3D which seems to be the best: http://sourceforge.net/projects/scrabble/files/ There is also another request: Bug 6203 - Eliot, an open source Scrabble game I succeeded to run xscrabble and Scrabble-3D with Mageia 1 but both fail with Mageia 3.
