Scrabble Deluxe Edition with Rotating Wooden Game Board

The only things missing are an automatic “word confirmer”, and an auto point adder. Also Im not sure, but the board seems smaller. But the convenience of the rotating board and yet tiles stay in place is perfect. As for my dream items above, I am confident that is in some genius person’s plan for the future.. Too expensive to be considered a toy, until my dream game is produced.

We just received our game, and it’s excellent! Very attractive, and the lazy susan and grid are game changers. The quality and craftsmanship, although not perfect, are worth every penny. 94% of reviews gave this game 4 stars or better for the other 6%, I would say invest in the Heirloom, Luxury, or Trophy versions or stick to the cardboard version, but nothing in large-scale assembly line production is perfect.Spending over $100 for the games seems steep, but this will be the last one we buy and will be handed down through the generations. I based this on the fact that our current cardboard set has been through two generations and is still in great shape.My cons (and both can be easily mitigated):1. The tile holder on the new set is pretty dinky. We like the ones from our old set better. The fix: we will swap and stain the old holders for the new ones.2. The lazy-susan, which is great, is ball bearings on hard plastic. The movement is smooth but not as quiet as if nylon was used. I have an easy fix for this as well.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:very nice looking set like you would see in a tournament. very nice for our weekly game.

My wife and I love love love playing scrabble. This board makes it even more enjoyable!!Why:- Base Swivels 360 degrees- Ridges between blocks keep your tiles from drifting around the board (when "certain" players get to exited during game-play :-)- Nicely made wooden tiles for each letter- If you need to set the game aside and come back to it later everything stays in place!- Huge storage area inside for the tiles, a note pad (that comes with it and a pen) with room left over.- It's actually a very well made show-piece, like a well made chessboard, we display ours on a table when not playing it. It always received LOTS of complimentsThis is the second one we have owned. The first one was a gift from a client who knew we loved scrabble. We did some extended traveling out of the country and sold most of our stuff before we left and donated it to a local club. We knew as soon as we came back to the U.S. we wanted to buy another one, so we bought it as a gift to each other for our 9th Anniversary.If you love playing games and you're an adult, why not spend a little more money and own something nice like this board, that you will get many years of enjoyment from.Highly Recomended :-)

Best scrabble board I've ever played on. Definitely worth the money. Solid build and feels like a truly premium set

My husband and I play a lot of games. By a lot, I mean a lot. We had a regular scrabble board but I kept kicking my husband's rear end. For some reason he felt like if we bought a nicer board he would do better. Who was I to argue? He really doesn't ask for much, so I bought the board. The board came, and we unpackaged it. The board is beautiful but the bag for the tiles is a bit small. I had an idea. We went straight to the liquor store and bought a bottle of crown Royale. We quickly swapped the tiles over to the beautiful new bag. I highly recommend this step as the crown bags seem to have been made with scrabble in mind. We began doing shots and laying down words. My husband hasn't beat me in a game in two weeks, and wouldn't you know it he finally won. He was right. All it took was a fancy board and he was once again a champion. Come to find out that stinker had been tricking me with the shots. I drank about 3/4 of that bottle all by myself. I fell right into his trap and spent most of the night dancing around the kitchen and laughing. He spent the whole night beating me at scrabble. Either way, it was a great night.

A nice higher end scrabble set. Looks beautiful and plays great. Tiles do not move around at all on board. However the negative is that the tiles are definitely lacking. Basically you can barely see the letters on some of the tiles. I have to turn on all the lights in the room to actually see the letters. Looking into buying a set of tiles as a replacement. I don't really understand why they made such a great set but the tiles are subpar. The 20 scrabble board had better functional tiles.

Wow - the wood frame and letters, the felt that holds the pieces inside, the swivel base - it's all well done. When they say "Deluxe" edition, they really do mean deluxe. The only thing not included is the latest scrabble dictionary, but you can order that online. We have an old scrabble board that we'll keep for nostalgia, but this will be the one we play on. I like that the letters are kept aligned with ridges in the playing board. There are little colored arrows printed on the adjacent squares to the double- and triple- letter and word squares. This tells you the multiplier under placed letters if you forget while scoring your word. The game is big and heavy: for storage, plan on taking up some space on your game shelf, and probably not the top shelf.
