3 Stars somehwat flimsy
Two complaints about this item. 1-The board, especially the hinges are extremely flimsy. I don’t expect it to hold up. and 2-Believe it or not, there are too many “bonus” squares…makes it almost too easy to score big and takes some of the fun out of it.
3 Stars Scrabble Super Deluxe
Super Scrabble Deluxe Edition
Though the set comes with double the tiles (200) and more rows/columns than the original, the board was disappointing. The original deluxe Scrabble (manufactured by S&R)was on a turntable and had deeper edges than this new Hasbro version. This board does not move as easily and has a chintzy feel to it.
5 Stars Super Game !!!
My wife and I are avid Scrabble players. She is actually very avid and serious. She is also very difficult to buy presents for or to surprise with something that she really likes.
When I found Super Scrabble I decided to take a chance and bought it for her for Christmas.
She was skeptical when she opened it, but we played our first game a few days later with our sons who were both home for the holidays and thoroughly enjoyed it. My wife declared that she never wanted to play normal scrabble again!!
It is a great and challenging game. It does take longer to play but does result in higher scores and somehow makes comebacks more possible than in the original version.
Yes the board is a bit flimsy, but we mounted it permanently on a piece of ?inch plywood and it is much more sturdy. It no longer works like a lazy susan, but that could be remedied if I was creative enough.
If you like Scrabble odds are that you will love Super Scrabble.

2 Stars Design, Craftmanship, & Challenge of Game
The design and craftmanship of this board is very poor. They use inexpensive plastic hinges on each end which causes “warping” of the thin plastic used. If they would ’spring’ for two additional plastic hinges between each end it would greatly help in reducing the warping of the board. As it is I am expecting my third shipment in hopes of finally receiving “one” board that isn’t warped and I can lay my letters flat. Upon picking up the board one has to be extremely careful as it tends to break apart at the hinges.
Overall as a game it’s terrific having more spaces and tiles to play with as it makes for a much more interesting and challenging game.
4 Stars Sensational Game, Board not Too Well Made
My husband and I love playing Scrabble, so one day not too long ago, I surprised him by purchasing the deluxe version of Super Scrabble. I wanted it because of the opportunity to make words that you could not make with the regular Scrabble game. I also like the gridded board to help keep the tiles in place while the game is in progress.
As far as the game play goes, we love it… but as far as durability goes, I’m not too thrilled with the way the board is made. The seam where the board folds not only won’t always lay flat, the board comes apart there on a regular basis. In fact, I think the board has come apart every time we play the game… We’re not rough on the game; the board is just made in a slip-shod manner. So far, my husband has been able to put the board back together again each time it comes apart, however, it is plastic so I’m not expecting it to last like it should.
I can’t recommend this version of the game to families with young children because of the structural defects of the game board; aside from that annoying flaw, I do recommend the Super Scrabble game to families with teenage children and to adults who like to stretch their vocabulary. Families with younger children should probably consider the less expensive regular version of Super Scrabble – the one where the board isn’t plastic.
