Scrabble Deluxe

The object of the game is to compete for the highest score by forming interlocking words in crossword fashion on the Scrabble board using tiles displaying letters with various score values. Higher scores can be obtained by using the tiles in locations and combinations that make the most use of the letter values and premium squares(eg: triple-letter score, double-word score etc) on the board.

The manufacturers recommend that it is suitable for people age 10 years of age upwards which is more or less accurate but slightly younger children could play, especially if there is some measure of supervision.

The contents have all been designed to enhance their look and to increase their function. The large board, 38 cm square, has a rotating base allowing it be turned easily during play, a polished wooden frame, and an embossed playing surface with a raised grid to keep the tiles in place. There are 100 wooden tiles of various values, and 4 storage racks on which players arrange their tiles, and a velvet bag stores and holds the tiles. Also included is an excellent booklet explaining in a straightforward and clear manner all aspects of the game.

"Every word counts when you're playing this deluxe version of the world's most popular word game."--Susan Naylor

This new deluxe version of scrabble is a joy to behold. It is a classy looking board, tasteful and with the extra bonus of raised tile edges, to stop the tiles slipping about. (something I haven't found on a version for ages)

I bought this for my mum as when we play Scrabble with my sister and Nan turning the board was always a problem. The tiles always moved and then people argued about where things went before etc. This set has a fantastic spinning board and sets the great quality wooden tiles in a slightly raised grid.

Of course the arguments still rage about what is a word and what isn't but hey - that's half the fun! This is definitely the best way to play this classic. Once you've played on a spinning board you won't want to go back!


A great upgrade   February 10, 2007

This is a classic game and with good reason. It's simple to play, but with infinite levels of game play for all ages and ability. Not only is it fun, but it stretches your vocabulary and mind as well. You'll have many a happy hour if you buy this. Highly recommended.

A friend sent me this as a gift as I have recently become a Scrabble convert. It is so much easier to play on this deluxe rotating version and I am supremely chuffed - the kids can have my bog standard version now. It seems to me to be more than worth the price - add a little luxury to your game!!

Now I just have to see if I can actually win!!
