Scribe is a pen-and-paper game for 2 players created by Mark Steere. The board is comprised of 3 mini-grids which together form a larger super-grid. Players take turns claiming cells and thereby forming specific formations or "glyphs." The player that claims the most mini-grids wins. Draws are not possible.

| Personman | 2 | One of those concepts that just makes me really, really happy, almost on the level Frames does. And I think it's probably a good game, too! |

| bigby | 1 | I think I really like this game. Reminds me of playing Dots and Boxes in elementary school, but much more elegant. |

| Laurie_Menke | 1 | One of my favorite Mark Steere games, though the simplicity of pen & paper and the increased speed of play make it better played in person. |

| ryanker | 1 | A pretty good SDG game. A VERY good paper and pencil game. |
| unic | 1 | Interesting. The Giant Glyph variant is very hard to read out in advance. |
| CDRodeffer | 0 | As an interesting variant, why not award the overall win based upon a metaglyph made up of the winners from each of the nine mini grids rather than a simple majority? |
| Cerulean | 0 | Is there too much 2nd player advantage? |
