Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

This is another edition of the world-famous popular word game for two to four players.

The object of the game is to compete for the highest score by forming interlocking words in cross-word fashion on the Scrabble board using tiles displaying letters with various score values. Higher scores can be obtained by using the tiles in locations and combinations that make most use of the letter values and premium squares (eg: triple letter score, double word score, etc.) on the board.

The manufacturers recommend that the game is suitable for people age 10 years upwards, which is more or less accurate though slightly younger children could play, especially if there is some measure of supervision.

Contents: there is a moulded plastic travel case, 23x12x5 cm, which features a built-in playing board with a non-slip surface uniquely designed to hold the special tiles which fit securely on the board. There is no need for paper and pencil to score as there is an integral scoring device on the edge of the board for each player. All the contents can be safely and tidily stored away inside the moulded case. There are four storage racks which are specially designed to hold tiles in place during the playing of the game and which keep them hidden when they are packed away if play has to be interrupted. There are 100 tiles of various values, a cloth bag to hold the tiles and a rules leaflet which is explicit and easy to follow.

This is an excellent, compact version of Scrabble which should give hours of pleasure when on the move. --Susan Naylor

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Product!, 6 Jan 2005
Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I'll assume that you all know how to play Scrabble. Well, this travel set is AWESOME! The letter holders fit neatly under the playing surface when not in use (I notice a previous reviewer said they needed to be stored elsewhere when not in use? Not sure what they are on about there, just leave them under the board!) and because the letters are magnetic, you can just pop it all away mid-game and then come back to it!

To the reviewer who said that there is no scoring system, I draw their attention to the markers on the sides of the board (visible in the photo above) - you simply slide the counter to indicate the number of points you have - i.e. 'x' no. of 1's, 10's, 100's.

When not in use, the letters fit in a tray which slots neatly inside the board, and the handy storage bag doubles as the letters bag when play is in progress. The attention to detail on this product as A1.

We travelled the world for two years and this game was invaluable for whiling away long flights or just relaxing in the evenings...word of advice though - buy the official Scrabble words book, or fast-track yourself into a divorce situation!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for on the move!, 10 Nov 2006
This edition of scrabble if you want a travel version but are not too worried about space (it is bulkier than the magnetic travel edition, but is much more durable).

The tile holders slot into place under one side of the game board (which lifts up on both sides) and the tiles and bag are stored under the other side keeping everything together in one handy unit. The tiles slide into the holders and click nicely into place on the board.

There is no need for pen and paper as the unit has a handy scoring system with sliders on each side of the board. The sides are numbered 1-4 as are the tile holders so if you need to postopone game play you know which is score and which tiles are yours. If you do have to stop play mid-game, there is no need to worry as the tile holders fold over holding your tiles in place and store neatly away under the board and because the tiles click into place on the board, this can be folded up without the tiles falling out.

The only down-side is that the tiles can sometimes be a bit tricky to lift out of the holders and when you go to remove the tiles from the board at the end of the game, they have a habit of flicking across the room (so keep an eye on them!).

On the whole, this is a great edition - one of the best travel games I have purchased!

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't get normal Scrabble..., 26 Nov 2003
Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Everyone knows Scrabble. This toys mistake is that it calls itself Travel Scrabble. It's not just for travelling. It should be called "letters that stay on the space they started on Scrabble". There's just no point getting the original version when it takes just one knock to redistribute every letter over the Board. Or am I the only clumsy one?
