My only knock is that the board will not turn easily unless you're on a totally flat surface. This board solves that problem. But hey, what's perfect. Scrabble has always been a great educational game. The first Super scrabble board I had was like the old boards, with tiles that could be bumped out of place.
This board does not move as easily and has a chintzy feel to it. Super Scrabble Deluxe EditionThough 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.
My wife declared that she never wanted to play normal scrabble again.It is a great and challenging game. My wife and I are avid Scrabble players. 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.Ewald Wibergauthor of The Perfect Vacation: One Couple's Adventures at Sea With and Without the Kids 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 ΒΌ inch plywood and it is much more sturdy. 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.
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. I don't expect it to hold up. Two complaints about this item. 1-The board, especially the hinges are extremely flimsy.
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. If they would 'spring' for two additional plastic hinges between each end it would greatly help in reducing the warping of the board. 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. 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.
