Bought for a friend who doesn’t do any online shopping so she always asks me. She got Scrabble to play with her kids, it’s the most fun way of improving a child’s vocabulary and spelling, being taught without realising it and you can literally play this game for hours. There have been attempts to copy Scrabble but the original is still the best.
I am a busy scrabbler first thing in a morning after breakfast and this sits in the conservatory and was a blessing during lockdown. I have worn out two boards so far and this one will have a plastic coating put on the board this time to prolong its surface. Waddingtons Original was definitely the best make for board and tiles, but this is a good second.
Great game and a classic.
Bear in mind, there’s no score pad included and the Scrabble Companion app isn’t compatible with every phone. It’s not available for my hubby’s Honor and will only work on iOS 16 and above, so I can’t download it either. Feels a bit unfair.
Still a great price!
Classic game and great value at this price. Don’t expect a premium feel as this is the cheaper version. There are more expensive versions available with more bells and whistles. We purchased this base model to see if we liked it and will potentially upgrade to a more premium version in time. Main features we miss is a grid that holds the letters in place when on the board, but wouldn’t expect that at this price.
Great fun as always, but I miss my deluxe version (where there are grooves for the tiles so they don’t move around). I would have bought the deluxe version had it not been crazy money.
Having said that, we still have loads of fun playing it with our boy.
I purchased the Italian version and there were no instructions inside the boxwe had to use some help from Google to remember the rules. Other than that we always have pleasant times play with “scarabeo” (italian name). It stimulates our brains and time goes soooo fast 🙂
Really impressed by this , my nearly 7 yrs old enjoys doing this for hours , fun and learning at the same time . Definitely recommend i
The game was what I wanted and it is to be a Christmas present for a family with 2 children who love words. I am just glad that nobody who also wanted a Scrabble game came to my door before I found it. The unwrapped box was left outside my front door despite me being in and nobody knocking; a window being left open with a sign left for delivery in case I was out. The delivery comment was – handed to recipient.
Game is brilliant played with my children and it will bring hours of fun. The only problem was the packaging was quite damaged so will find an alternative home for the se
Thank you very much. Bought it as a gift to 90-year-old lady. She enjoys it!
I love classic games and this is my all-time favourite!!!
Can never have enough scrabble have not seen it yet as i am in hospital but looks good
You get what you pay for. This Scrabble set is low-cost and that is reflected in the quality of the board.
Scrabble is such a classic game that any board game lover is bound to have it in their cupboard. We finally added it to ours & it became the best game played over the Christmas period. It’s easy to pick up & fun to play. We also loved the addition of the app that helps with scoring! All in all, a brilliant game!
Scrabble – A decent, friendly priced version of a classic game. Our house is overflowing with both traditional board and digital games. So it was a little strange that we were lacking Scrabble. I must say that I’ve never been attracted to it much, mostly because my counterparts in the family (without being specific) read and write in different quantities and thus have a more limited set of vocabulary while others are sesquipedalians – which happens tube one of my favourite Scrabble words, good for 26 points. So the thing with this game it that you’ll need to find a partner of equal skill. Having said that it’s really good for our youngest as well to work and test his spelling even thought game is advised for children aged 10+.
This a poorly presented set that includes 120 letter tiles, four racks, a letter bag and instructions. The box is fairly sturdy which is good for storage and the letter bag is really helpful as well. However the racks are plastic, and the letters are made of plastic as well and hollow on the underside. Other than some of the other reviews here the board isn’t small; 36cm on each side, neither are the letter pieces too small. I’m just comparing it to the decades-old Scrabble set that we keep at out second home that is made of wood elements and really nice by comparison. Still I can’t complain too much given the 14 we paid for this, the educational value for the children and that it fills a family board game playing need (which I think is one of the best ways to spend your time in this digital age).
