VERY HAPPY
The game was all I expected it to be and more. Very happy with product and with price. Have done price comparison and this was a good deal. Will buy again from seller.

more to love
We play scrabble quite a bit, so when we saw we could get a board with more letters and better bonus tiles-we bought it-lots of fun and I suggest using 9 letters instead of seven. Better words that way and with double the letters, you can still play in a reasonable amout of time---

scrabble
Sunday will be the first time I use my new scrabble set. I play scrabble with a group of women and enjoy it very much. We get together at a different home each week. I have played with the same set as mine at others homes and we find the bigger board more challenging, love the rotating board, and like the enclosed squares. I wanted to have my own set when it is at my home and, also, if I have company, it is a good game to play.

super scrabble deluxe
scrabble is scrabble, and more spaces, and more letters along with the quadruple scoring squares is just better. the only thing I was disappointed in was the way it rotates. there are ball bearings on the bottom, so it rolls rather than rotates. I was expecting a stand that rotated, like the older version of regular scrabble deluxe. but it is still a lot of fun

This is a Good Buy
This is a great game for children and adults. Scrabble lovers will enjoy the extra challenge of more tiles and higher rated squares.

The game lasts longer too! Its a great educational tool for children, helping them learn new words from others and think about the ones they already know.

The slight downside is its supposed to be easier to turn, but its not really. Thank goodness the tiles lock in so they dont move when turning the board from player to player.

This is a must have item for scrabble lovers

Scrabble Onyx Edition
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R9YNRZAUT67VT I made a short video review of the Scrabble Onyx Edition and the extra goodies it comes with. It's no Franklin Mint edition, but it is a really nice product which will continue to look nice for years to come. Worth the investment if you're looking for something unique and a little more professional looking than the original deluxe version. It also has a solid piece board which will not wear out over time from folding which is a huge bonus in my opinion.

My Favorite Scrabble Board
I'm a scrabble geek. I admit it. I bought this and the deluxe turntable edition at the same time and wound up keeping this one and giving the other away as a present. The deluxe turntable edition screamed "cheap" in it's construction (despite the pricetag) and the letters weren't at all secure in their grids- overall really disappointing. However, I LOVE the look of the tiles and board on the Onyx edition, the roomy velvet pouch and the scorekeeping book. REALLY LOVE how the tiles sit securely on the board, the lower profile and the lazy susan feature. This one was the "keeper" for me! I've gotten lots of compliments on it from fellow scrabble fiends as well.

Very pleased with game
After reading lots of reviews both good and poor I was not sure what to expect when I purchased this game. I was not disappointed and although it is not as well constructed as the old style turn table game, it works great. The game board display lines up with the grid, and I think the raised plastic edges for the tiles is plenty high enough. The rotating rollers work great, the tiles are printed instead of engraved but I don't expect them to wear off. I didn't get a glare from the silver background of the game board like some others stated. The board is not small and you need a big table to play, and it requires a lot of space to store the box. For what I paid its great!

Serious Scrabble
If you like Scrabble, you'll love this board. It rotates so it can face each player during their turn. Also, there are individual depressions for each space on the board, so accidental nudging won't displace your tiles. And it just looks great!

Nice look but cheaply done. This game is very expensive for what you get, I paid at Borders and feel like I overpayed. The black and silver look nice but the board is cheap plastic and the turntable underneath does not rotate very smoothly. I have played some older versions of deluxe scrabble where the board is raised and when you turn it it will clear your letter rack but in this version (Onyx) you need to make sure your letter rack is far enough away from the game or they will get knocked over when the board is spun. The board spaces is a sticker and it is not smooth, there are bubbles and it is not applied straight. Overall we enjoy the look of the game we would just prefer a little bit better quality or a more reasonable price.

Great Product
I really like this edition of Scrabble. It is very durable. The pieces are wood, the board is strong plastic and everything fits in one piece. There is no score-keeping equipment but all you need is a paper and pencil. Great buy if you want it to last for many years.

Great Game!
My family and I absolutely LOVE the Scrabble Diamond Anniversary Edition. We had the older cardboard version, but the pieces always slid all over the board when we played. Now, the pieces stay exactly where they are placed. We also love the fact that everything folds right up into the board/case for travel. It was definitely a smart purchase for us!

Why Did You Do IT!!
Although I enjoy using the set, I wonder why your company decided to change the colors of the valued tile spaces? Triple word score has always been red. double pink, triple letter score deep blue, and double letter pale blue.

I play in tournaments too, and all that would be needed to use this set would be "protile-like" tiles (those without being able to feel engraved letters in tiles). Putting these type of tiles in would also have been appreciated.

Love Scabble Diamond Anniversary Edition
I love the Diamond Anniversary Edition of Scrabble. I love the portable case. I can carry it everywhere. My friends who play with me love it also. I live in a senior building and my friends get together almost every day to play. We love how it turns so easily while we play. We have spent many exciting hours playing scrabble on this wonderful gameboard. Oh, and by the way it has increased my vocabulary. Praise God. The price was great too.

Thank you Amazon.

Great Editon
Love this version of scrabble, is durable, sturdy and convenient. I have 3 kids, 6, 8, 12 and we all play and enjoy it. The 2 drawers to store the letters and other pieces is convenient and also the pouch to store the letters. Also this board has wheels and you can rotate the board easily. Will recommend it to everyone.
