Editorial Review
It's still hard to get a triple word score, the tiles are still made of wood, there's only one "X" in the whole box, and family feuds are increasing exponentially. But after 50 years, Scrabble has had a face-lift: a swivel base allows the board to turn so players don't have to work upside down, a plastic grid helps keep tiles in line, and a handy bag stores the letters when they're not in use. The premise hasn't changed at all--two to four players battle it out to make high-scoring words from seven little letters--so choose a dictionary before play begins to avoid ugly confrontations. --Lynne Sampson

 Cheap Board
I enjoyed this new deluxe board because of its ability to rotate. However, I took it to a friend's house and left it in the car for about 2 hours the result was not pretty. The cheap overlay that forms the surface that you play on melted and warped. Despite attempts to reshape it I had to trash the whole set. For fifty dollars I think the manufacter could have made a product that stood up to 80 degree day.

 A real disappointment from an old Scrabble fan
My husband got this for my birthday. I have the old deluxe edition, but the turntable doesn't turn freely anymore, so I wanted a new one. I love playing scrabble and have been playing for more than 40 years! When I opened the box I couldn't believe the poor quality of this game. I can't imagine this holding up for more than a few games. The board is flimsy cardboard mounted on a cheap plastic grid, and the letter trays are the poorest quality plastic I've ever seen in a game! What happened to you MB to produce this horrible quality product and then sell for such an exorbitant price? You get what you pay for certainly does not apply to this item. Stick to the cheap model and you are more likely to get something usable. I hope I am able to return this item because I sure don't want it.

 Good review ( o_salmon )
I purchase the Deluxe Turntable Scrabble as a gift for my birthday.
It is one of the best educational game I have every played.
I am thinking of purchasing some more, as gift to my families and friends.
I would recommend that every house should have one.

Scrabble
My mom has played scrabble for years, decades! she has always played on a stationary scrabble board. i was home for the 4th of July weekend (2008) and my mom and nephew mentioned having a board that would rotate. I ordered it sent it to her and in all the years she played , i never heard her carry on about that one board the way she did. just her excitement alone may me know the investment was well worth it.

Scrabble- one of the best!
Our family purchased a Deluxe Scrabble game in the late 1960s with S&H green stamps. It has been well used and is still in great condition. We purchased this new game for a niece who loves the game as we do. I'm sure this game will last as did our first. The price from Amazon was the lowest I could find anywhere!
Thanks for the fun!!
