Editorial Review
It's still hard to get a triple word score, the tiles are still made of wood, there's only one "X" in the whole box, and family feuds are increasing exponentially. But after 50 years, Scrabble has had a face-lift: a swivel base allows the board to turn so players don't have to work upside down, a plastic grid helps keep tiles in line, and a handy bag stores the letters when they're not in use. The premise hasn't changed at all--two to four players battle it out to make high-scoring words from seven little letters--so choose a dictionary before play begins to avoid ugly confrontations. --Lynne Sampson

 Not worth the money September 2, 2008
Becahdawn (San Francisco, CA)
Let me preface this review by saying I don't think the game Scrabble deserves one star. I love Scrabble and the rating is only about the quality of this particular edition.
My parents own the old Deluxe edition which I have played for many years. When my boyfriend and I decided to boy an edition of Scrabble for ourselves, this was immediately what I wanted. I love the ridges on the board, the turntable, and the quality of the trays and tiles of the old Deluxe edition.
Sadly, this is a far inferior edition. And for the price, I this it's pretty shocking.
Problems:
* The tiles are poorly made. Examples: The white "ink" on the letter E came off completely onto my friend's finger during a game, leaving only the engraving of an E on the tile itself. This was the first time the game was used. The tiles are all different sizes. Seriously. When you line them up on the tray, they don't all line up at the top and they're different widths. The letters are not all stamped in the center of the tiles, some skew to the left, to the top, to the right, you get the idea.
* The trays are cheap plastic. This may not bother some people, but I love the feel of the old, wooden trays. It's nice that the tile distribution is printed on each tray, but they feel flimsy.
* The board is made of the same cheap plastic and the ridges are extremely shallow. One of the main draws of the Deluxe edition is the ridges because they keep the tiles in place. These ones don't. Instead, they help create a terrain of peaks and valleys when the tiles get shifted during play.
* The turntable doesn't raise the board very high off the table so it doesn't clear the trays when turned. This means everybody has to pick up their trays or keep them far away from the board if you want to turn it between each play.
* And a personal preference: I don't like the dark tiles. They're more difficult to read than the traditional blond wood (probably because they're not printed well, the ink is somewhat transparent).
Save yourself some money and do what we did: find an older Deluxe Scrabble on eBay and stay away from this one. If you really want it, I bet you can find a lot of people getting rid of it online.

Have a Scrabble home party--save on gas by having fun at home; shut off the TV; have fun with family, neighbors, friends; use your brain; and learn new words. An inexpensive price for years of fun.
Great game! July 27, 2008
S. N. Kojoian (Studio City, CA)
We have owned this game for over one year and have not had any problems with durability, and we play it constantly. Can't wait to try out our travel version.
 Cheap and Shallow? July 8, 2008
Jeanette J. Jennis (USA PA)
I was disappointed in the quality of the plastic board for the cost of $48.00. The ridges to keep the tiles in place seem too shallow, as tiles come out rather easily. Scrabble itself is a wonderful game!
