If you've never played Scrabble before, the Gameplay Guide explains the rules in a clear, easy-to-read way. It also has lots of tips to sharpen your game (a list of "q-without-u" words, for example). The sturdy plastic board needs no assembly and the storage trays cleverly built into the bottom of the board are easy to find, especially with help from the Gameplay Guide. The game also comes with a Gameplay Guide that offers many helpful hints, as well as interesting historical tidbits (For example, did you know the game used to be called "Criss Cross Words?")
A Sleek New Look for Scrabble
The
black-and-silver tiles, the smoky red racks, and the velvety tile pouch
give this Scrabble set a touch of class. The curvature of the racks help
you to see your letters more easily than you could on the old, straight
racks. During gameplay, the raised grid will help keep your tiles
firmly in place, even when the board spins towards another player. The
pouch helps keep all the letters and racks together during play. Put
them in the storage trays when you're done, fold the board back up --
and voila -- you have a carrying case that makes this deluxe Scrabble
game easy to take with you.
Fun and Functional
We
really liked the look of this colorful board, with its cheerful blue,
green, red, and orange "premium" squares. We also appreciated the way
the set folds up into a carrying case, complete with the storage trays
and handle. It's not advertised as a travel set, but you can use it that
way. You just have to be careful to hold the set closed when
transporting it, since it doesn't snap shut. Also, the storage trays can
get a little full when you try to put all the letters and racks in one
tray, so make sure you tuck everything neatly into the tray so it will
close.
Millions of people around the world love the game of Scrabble, and we're sure they'll be just as happy as we are to see this new, improved edition with features that make it both more fun and more functional!
