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!

This is great. I bought it for my son for Christmas and he LOVES scrabble. What I didn't know if that the board even rotates! That was a definate plus. Great pieces, nice case, convenient, must buy.

There are so many things I love about this version of Scrabble. First of all, the spots for the letters are recessed so the letters are held in place more securely. You don't bump them out of place while putting other letters on the board. I also love how the board swivels and folds in half to become a portable storage system for all the pieces. This is so great. I am really glad I bought it.

After playing scrabble night after night with my 9 year old and my Mother on the "cheap" $8 version board, we decided to upgrade to a board that would swivel and keep the letters on the correct sqaures. After looking over all of the different Scrabble boards offered, I decided on this one. It is wonderful!! It folds in half with a handle for easy carry/travel, it has two drawers, and it has small wheels to swivel to each player with grooves that actually hold the tiles so they don't slide. It's the little things like these that can make a game so much more fun (especially for the adults). The one and only downside is that the four letter holders only hold 7 tiles, and my family likes to play the version with 9 tiles, so we had to switch out with our old set, which wasn't a big deal, but if you don't have an old set, make sure you're aware of this, because it wasnt' mentioned anywhere. Overall, it's an A+ game board for Scrabble!!

I was looking for a Scrabble game with the raised grid, but at an affordable price. Turns out this version also comes in its own portable case and swivels like some of the more costly versions. It's more than I expected and I absolutely love it!

This is the perfect Scrabble game. Everything fits neatly into two storage compartments on the game board. The curved letter holders are a really good idea. A must have for serious Scrabble players.
