5 Stars Classic!
It’s Scrabble! How can you go wrong?

This is the classic board, with simple racks and a flat board. Functional and inexpensive. The only real annoyance is that the tiles can get skewed/disorganized on the board while you’re playing since they don’t have the raised grooves that the deluxe boards do. Still, perfectly manageable.

5 Stars A Classic You Just Can’t Beat
My wife and our friends have been huge Scrabble fans from way back. We were playing a lot of the Scrabble beta app on Facebook, but were getting tired of all the bugs. Plus, a good old-fashioned face to face game can’t be beat. This set hasn’t changed a bit from the version I played as a kid. This is the no frills version: the board doesn’t revolve lazy Susan style and the tile bag is just made of plastic. Other than that, the game materials are high quality. As for game play, if you happen to be that rare person who has never played Scrabble, it is a classic board game and a ton of fun. And yes, it is educational and encourages literacy.

5 Stars Its a classic!
I don’t think Scrabble needs a review, but just in case: this is a great game. I like it more as an adult. I grew bored with it as a child. And, being the youngest by many years, it was also a game I could never win. No fun! But I like it now!

3 Stars Good set
Scrabble is a very popular game and there is very little that I can add as review on the game. However, this scrabble set is very nice. Would make an excellent gift set.

I would have liked :

1. More number of alphabet pieces.

2. The letters are on one side of the piece, they could have been punched on both side of the pieces.

3. A scoreboard to maintain the player scores.

5 Stars Challenging and Fun
I love this game but I wish I’d gotten the deluxe version with the plastic grid gameboard.

4 Stars Great for Traveling
This is a great game for the car. The kids were able to play with it by themselves and together. It’s also great for teaching colors, etc. It kept them occupied for quit a while, which is sometimes a challenge on long road trips.

5 Stars Great for travel
This was a great game for the airplane. The kids (4 and 6) had fun with it and the pieces are all attached so they can’t be dropped or lost.

5 Stars Great design plus here’s an idea for more cards
I have a 3yr old and a 1yr old so this game is fun for both of them. My 3yr old plays the memory game. My 1yr old likes to open and close the doors. I anticipate that my 3yr old will evenually memorize the cards but I’m pretty sure I could create my own new cards.

1) Trace a game card and cut out new card

2) Place blank card into wooden slot and then draw all the circles onto the card

3) Remove the card then place pairs of stickers over the circles

Voila! A new game card.

5 Stars Great for home or travel
My daughter is 4 years old and has mastered this game superbly. She has learned and memorized every single card within a week. What Melissa & Doug need to do is to add more inserts for purchase. The flipping mechanism works great. I love this product. Wish I could buy more inserts.

5 Stars Fun in the car
We took this on vacation and my 4 1/2 year old granddaughter really enjoyed it. It has several cards, so you can change the game each time you play. Very durable.
