Toys and Games Reviews of Super Scrabble Deluxe Edition
Customer Review: Scrabble lovers paradise
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this game for my wife who loves regular scrabble and often plays it solitaire. She has had a lot of fun doing the same with the expanded version because of the increased number of letters giving more opportunities for words to be created with letters such as X and Z, more opportunities to create words on a "spread out" board and a longer play time (helpful for solitaire, where the game can be left for a while if necessary).
Disadvantages seem to be that luck has more to do with who wins. For example, my wife usually beats me because of her excellent vocabulary base, but with some lucky letters and being able to use double-double word score and quadruple word score, I was able to get very large scoring rounds and score a rare win. The one nice thing about this is that if you get far behind, a lucky round can put you back in the game pretty quick. Another possible downside is that it took 2-1/2 hours to play, which was okay on a rainy windy winter afternoon, but may prove troublesome on a warm spring day when the sun beckons.

I purchased Super Scrabble Deluxe Edition for my Mother's Birthday. We always said that Scrabble should have more tiles, a larger board, and more bonus spots. This one has all that! We vary the game, playing the usual 7 pieces when playing with the kids, and either 11 or 15 pieces each when it's just my Mom and I. We play Scrabble a lot, and the kids are just amazed by the long words that we come up with and it challenges them to try to make longer words when we play with them. Scrabble is our 'go to' game. All of the kids started playing when they were little (maybe as little as 3). They would not always finish a game, but we felt like we had a victory if they just played for a short time, and then we called in a 'sub' to finish for them. Now, the kids are teenagers, and they all want to play Scrabble with Grandma. It was the only board game we took on our recent vacation to Colorado, and it got used almost every day. I highly recommend this product to any fan of the original Scrabble. Thanks! R. Allen in TexasCustomer Review: Great game for the whole family.

My husband and I love Scrabble. We have every version. We like this one the best. We pick 9 tiles instead of 7 and it makes the game much more interesting especially since it has the "Super Deluxe" board. Even though it is a deluxe board with spaces for each tile I am not pleased with the design of the board itself. It seems flimsy and I am afraid it will fall apart before we get a lot of use out of it. Maybe they will design one that is more durable like the older Scrabble Deluxe version. Yes it was a little big and bulky, but the board was strong and durable. It has been on many camping trips and is still in one piece, (can't say that for the box):). The new board has hinges in the middle where it folds in half and I just know that it will break before it's time. I would recommend this game to any Scrabble players, but be warned, the board is not real sturdy and does bulge up in the middle where it folds. Still fun and you can't beat the security of the deluxe tile boards. Happy gaming.Customer Review: Previous deluxe version was much better quality

Game plays much better and is more entertaining therefore. But board is made poorly compared to previous version. It requires a slippery surface to slide on as the only thing they have supplied to turn the board are naked ball bearings which are always prone to dirt etc problems. I had to cut a 2ft x 2ft expensive and smooth plywood and even that is not slippery enough. I would not trust the board on fine furniture to not leave groves. Probably formica would work but who has that anymore. Also the board does not fit together in the middle perfectly so any flaw in the flatness of the board creates height differences between the two folding sides. For close to 50 bucks you would think it would be an improvement in quality on the older version. Board is thin and the grooves for the tiles are less deep and more easily let the tiles slip out than previous version. I fear this board will not last long because of the plastic hinges and thinness of the plastic overall.Customer Review: scrabble

Our weekly Scrabble group uses this game when 5 or 6 of us play. It keeps us on our toes as the point values are different and there are double the amount of letters in the game. The game rotates so that each player can look at it the right direction. The spaces are recessed so that the tiles do not slide out when the board is rotated. The letter spaces are not quite deep enough to be 100% effective. We have games of varying age and it seems as though some of the older Scrabble games had deeper spaces. All in all, this is a fun game. We're all Senior Citizens so fudge on the rules by having our 2- and 3- letter word lists in large type. We also have the large print editions of the Scrabble dictionary. From 4 to 6 of us play weekly. One game a month is in the evening following a community potluck. Otherwise we have snacks (some have wine), play a game and then have coffee & dessert. We have a lot of laughter and consults with each other on how to make words.
