Ok, not really. I'm guessing the rule change will just be ignored.

This made the rounds on reddit. Awesome end of the world mentality involved, but the rules aren't changing.

Well, lest you worry that, in fact, the sky is falling, the good news is that it's not. According to John Williams, the executive director of the American Scrabble Association, the news is just not true. Williams said in a phone interview that what's happened is that Mattel, which owns the rights to Scrabble in England, is going to release a completely new version of the game there called Scrabble Trickster, in which anything goes, including the use of proper nouns, spelling words backwards, stealing letters, and so on.

It's nothing more than a PR ploy by Mattel, Williams suggested.

Mattel has since confirmed that the new version will in fact be called Scrabble Trickster.

I can somehow imagine huge star trek nerds playing klingon scrabble, I don't know why.
