Ages: 8 and up
Expert Tips and Fascinating History
If you've never played Scrabble before, the Gameplay Guide explains the rules in a clear, easy-to-read way. It also has lots of tips to sharpen your game (a list of "q-without-u" words, for example). The sturdy plastic board needs no assembly and the storage trays cleverly built into the bottom of the board are easy to find, especially with help from the Gameplay Guide. The game also comes with a Gameplay Guide that offers many helpful hints, as well as interesting historical tidbits (For example, did you know the game used to be called "Criss Cross Words?")

A Sleek New Look for Scrabble
The black-and-silver tiles, the smoky red racks, and the velvety tile pouch give this Scrabble set a touch of class. The curvature of the racks help you to see your letters more easily than you could on the old, straight racks. During gameplay, the raised grid will help keep your tiles firmly in place, even when the board spins towards another player. The pouch helps keep all the letters and racks together during play. Put them in the storage trays when you're done, fold the board back up -- and voila -- you have a carrying case that makes this deluxe Scrabble game easy to take with you.

Fun and Functional
We really liked the look of this colorful board, with its cheerful blue, green, red, and orange "premium" squares. We also appreciated the way the set folds up into a carrying case, complete with the storage trays and handle. It's not advertised as a travel set, but you can use it that way. You just have to be careful to hold the set closed when transporting it, since it doesn't snap shut. Also, the storage trays can get a little full when you try to put all the letters and racks in one tray, so make sure you tuck everything neatly into the tray so it will close.

Millions of people around the world love the game of Scrabble, and we're sure they'll be just as happy as we are to see this new, improved edition with features that make it both more fun and more functional!

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.
