Changes

The game struggled in its early years until sales began dramatically increasing in 1952.  The game was purchased by Selchow & Righter in 1971.  Following the windfall created by [[Trivial Pursuit]], and its subsequent crash,  Selchow sold their properties to Coleco Industries in 1986.  Coleco was subsequently acquired by Hasbro in 1988 and Scrabble has remained with them since.
