Scrabble ads more fun than f*cking Scrabble.
(click ads for closer look)
They're via Hungary. Yes, I passionately hate Scrabble (it's included in my list, left). Two reasons: 1) I was born with a mind that's terrible at word puzzles/rearranging letters; 2) it's fucking boring. But these ads made me smile, and are close to what I consider ideal print ads—unusual visuals/zero copy, like this Snickers Halloween ad, this American Psycho billboard, this hemp store poster, and this pole-dancing studio ad.

Nice ads.
Now all we have to do is bring the concept to the US. Then some CD can "improve" them with a headline.
Something like:
Scrabble brings words to life.
Up, down or sideways. Anyway you look at it, Scrabble is great family fun!
Who says words are boring?

They work extremely well with English words, actually.

Snake - SoLdieR - Ladder - Rack
Are they really Hungarian in origin?
These are cool. Thinking of the gaggles of Scrabble ads in student books, I don't think I'd seen this before.
Maybe it wouldn't be so boring if you were good at it?
