Don't know if iwill order from this sight again. was disappointed. I ordered form amazon because i was looking for thefirst introductry offer which was pink. they said theyhad 3 but i recieved the one that i could have purchased anywhere.
And, it would be great except that it's almost impossible to get the tiles into the squares. My parents have a travel version where you can just lay the tiles in the squares. I love Scrabble. They pop out frequently when you are trying to put them in. Why did they change it. My parents taught me to play when I was 12 (many, many years ago) and I've loved it ever since. My husband and I bought this version of the game so we could take it on the road with us.
We played this game and Yahtzee too Love this game.we had to sit in a car for 6 hrs.
A great feature is that the letter tiles lock into place so that you can stop your game, zip up the case and continue the same game later. This is an excellent travel size version of Scrabble. I saw several groups of people playing this game at poolside on a cruise ship last year, so I bought a game to take on my next cruise.
Moreover, its versatility has advantages that facilitate our passion for Scrabble: we can start a game at home, take it to another room or the back yard, finish it later, or complete a game after we return home that we began on an airplane, in a waiting room or airport terminal. Our original set bought 3 years ago has perfect molding of the pieces so they pop in/out of place --no chance of loss or interruption of an on-going game.
We just returned from a trip, and intend to register a complaint to Hasbro about the quality glitch. The new set has a few flaws in at least 8-10 pieces; the 'fit' of these letters isn't snug -- letters can fall out.
After trying magnetic and other 'travel' versions of Scrabble, we have used this folio version for over three years. We've used one of them several times and, much to our chagrin, find that the engineering of the pieces in the new sets is inferior.
We don't know if we got a couple new 'lemons' or perhaps Hasbro's quality control of outsourcing just ain't what it used to be.So, overall, we rate the game very highly.And BTW, we got a very good price through Amazon that compares favorably with prices at game stores, travel shops, and other dealers.But our recent experience is an annoying development in the product, and we think that too should be shared.Enjoy, but with a word of caution. It's compact size and good design has made it a constant companion every time we travel.
Many happy hours.However, we just bought two new sets in July 2009 -- as gifts.
