Travel Edition Scrabble Deluxe

looks nice but a bit smaller in size for me

It's perfect for traveling.

Très belle qualité pour ce scrabble deluxe travel

I like folding and quality is ok but dislike wooden letters is not comfortable fitting on board too small and light

This is the best reasonably portable Scrabble game we have ever had. For years, we relied on the canvas case zipper protected, portable game, but the letter pieces often bounced out of the plastic folding board. There also wasn’t room in that portable version to keep (without an unsightly split zipper) letter stands, notepad, and pencil, which are so essential to being a nerdy wordaphile. This portable game however is both functional and, dare I say it, handsome. Once folded open, the board splits open in separate wings to provide access to storage for the letter, bag, letters, pencil, and notepad. Although it is a little large for stuffing in an overnight, it carries nicely in a backpack. Remember, it’s not about the words, it’s about the score.

Ordered this and received yesterday. I must admit, I was mildly concerned from what a few reviews had mentioned about quality, but so far, it's not been too bad. I've not removed the wooden tiles / racks/ paper / Pencil from their packaging yet, this is because we're off on holiday soon and I couldn't see the point making everything loose from Day 1 just for the sake of it and besides the packaging is transparent for those. The game arrived well wrapped, with protective corner pieces. Upon unwrapping, the only thing I noticed were a couple of tiny scuffs on the long edge corner of the game. Because the wood is like a cherry red sorry of colour, these were reasonably obvious although not massively distracting. My wife found a light brown Sharpie and gently ran it across the scuffs and note you can't even see they were there. Opening the game shows the board which was in good order. There were two squares in the middle that had a tiny blob of glue that I'll remove with a sharp craft knife. Aside from that, it all looked good. The tiles, although I kept in their bag (though as I write this I might well open the bag and check they are all there!), and yes obviously they are smaller than normal scrabble tiles but they aren't as tiny as some have said and I've got pretty big hands. They're shouldn't be any problem placing these on the board. So far, so good. I'll update my review if anything goes south upon unpacking or playing the game.
