Editorial Reviews
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

Poor Quality for the Price
I bought this game after my wife and I started playing Scrabble frequently. I thought that the rotating board would be more convenient than using our lazy susan. I also thought the raised grid would be great for keeping the tiles in place. However, for the price I paid, I expected much better quality. Upon opening the box, I immediately commented how cheap the plastic was. As I set the board down, the playing surface was very thin and wasn't really attached completely to the base. It was very thin cardboard and moved up and down when you touched it. On the box, it appears that the tile holders have the information about the number of letter tiles molded into them. But, they are just stickers. I packed it all up and returned it the same day. If I had paid a lot less, I would've kept it. But, it was just too poor quality for what I paid.

Deluxe Scrabble
The best thing about this version is that the board sits up high enough so that when you spin it around for the next player it clears the the long plastic piece that holds your 7 letters...your letters in their holder won't get knocked off the table or moved. The only bad thing is that the board surface does not hold the letters that well, the little platic grid is not high enough next to each letter piece. If you turn the board slowly it's ok but if you turn the board to fast or you have big fingers then the pieces move easly.

Otherwise all the pieces fit in the botton part of the "lazy susan" design......stores neatly away.

Scrabble ROCKS !
THE BEST GAME EVER INVENTED!!! I TRY TO PLAY EVERYDAY AND OWN 5 SCRABBLE BOARDS PERSONALLY. With two more hours in a day I could guarantee I could play everyday.
