Toys and Games Reviews of Super Scrabble Deluxe Edition
Customer Review: Disappointed
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this for my grandson because we love to play Scrabble and he wanted the rotating board with raised tile boxes. When we opened this we were surprised to see that it does NOT have a rotating base, it has some metal beads on the bottom that allow it to turn...if it is on a very smooth surface and even then it doesnt turn well. The board folds in the middle so the tiles down the middle don't sit well and the plastic board surface is not glued down properly. Also, Super Scrabble is a different game with double the amount of tiles to play and a much bigger board so that a game of Scrabble will take much, much longer to play.
For $40 I expected better quality. We only kept it because I bought it online and didn't want to jump through the hoops of returning it via mail with shipping costs.

If you and your group are avid Scrabble players, you need this version!Super Scrabble Deluxe Edition
The larger board presents a unique set of tactical options: more squares, more and different bonus squares, more turns to play, more chances to get Q, W, X, Z, Y, more chances to get a tray of nothing but vowels or consonants.
The ball-bearing undercarriage works best on a firm matte finish, like a tablecloth or leather over wood.
The raised grid makes moving the board, on its ball-bearings, resistant to tile slide.
Although not as beautiful as the Onyx or Franklin Mint editions, this Super Deluxe edition is a great way to PLAY [9 points].

I'm disappointed and delighted about my new Scrabble Deluxe game.
The two things I am very disapointed at is the cheap plastic hinges that fold the game up breaks off after about the third time we opened it.Very cheesy and cheap.Also, the turntable for the game is not what we expected. We thought for $44. we should have at least had a turntable like a lazy Susan, but it rolls on casters which will mar a wooden table. I want my money back or a replacement, so now I will have to pursue that avenue. So, if cheap hinges, and no good turning board are your thing have at it.
I am delighted with the size of the board and more letters and score points. Takes three hours of good old fashioned fun to finish.

I was very disappointed with the Super Scrabble. I had hoped to find a Deluxe version that I had several years but this was the closest I could find. The description states it can be rotated around which I thought would be like the old deluxe version on a lazy susan. Not so. We had to slide this around on little "ball baring" feet which wasn't very helpful. Also, we began a game and wanted to continue it later. I went to pick up the board and it came apart at the middle seem where it was assembled. The only part that was okay are the plastic separators to help keep the tiles organized on the board. This was a gift for an elderly parent and it was frustrating for me! I am returning it today.Customer Review: Way more fun than the original
Summary: 5 Stars
Original Scrabble was great, but it always felt like you were trying to cram words on the board for the last half of the game. Super Scrabble makes larger words easier throughout the game, ups the game length and points, and takes some of the focus off the puzzle aspect and places it back on the word competition, where it belongs.
The Deluxe version is definitely worth it... the raised grid keep the letters nice and neat, and rarely bumped out of place. The ball bearings on the bottom help the folding board turn smoothly, but I wonder how long before they get stuck. This game is a ton of fun, a great improvement on the original, and worth the money for the deluxe designation.
