They're probably great at Scrabble if they use the official rules because the official rules allow a lot of "words" which really are not English words.

Yeah, the word "qi" is a legitimate word in Scrabble, and my family learning that fact marked the end of me having fun playing Scrabble with them. Once it stops being about expanding your vocabulary and spelling, and starts being about maximizing points with words you only know because they're useful in the game, it becomes a lot less interesting.
