Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Did you know scrabble was invented in 1931 by an unemployed architect named Alfred Butts? It was quietly played by just the inventor and his friends until 1948 when it began to be manufactured and sold. Scrabble is the world's bestselling word game and once people start playing this famous word game they are usually captivated for life. Each player must make the best use of 7 letter tiles drawn at random, taking turns to form words crossword-style across the playing board. Scores are given for letter values and are boosted by premium squares on the grid. The highest score at the end wins. This is a great opportunity to update and treat yourself to a brand new scrabble.



Box Contents

  • 1 x Scrabble board
  • 100 x letter tiles, 98 with letters and 2 blanks
  • 4 x tile racks
  • 1 x letter shuffling bag
  • 1 x instruction booklet

3.0 out of 5 stars a very ordinary scrabble set, 25 Sep 2007
By Bernard Davis "Bernard Davis" (Birmingham, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 
To misquote a well known ad - it isn't what it says on the box.

It's called Scrabble Original - it claims to be an upgrade - there's a contradiction already - and it isn't an upgrade.

Some smart alec in the marketting department thinks that if they make the box bigger that will make people think that what is in it is better. Well - all the increased size of the box does is make it harder to store.

As for this being any better - the only real change is that there is no scorepad in this version - this really is a petty, penny pinching change.

The game of Scrabble itself is of course great, but Mattel have not done themselves proud here - this comes across as a rather grubby bit of marketting.

My three stars reflect the worth of this Edition - not Scrabble itself.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Original Scrabble, 14 Jan 2008
Durability:2.0 out of 5 stars Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This might call itself Scrabble Original, but it isn't. The Scrabble sets I played on as a lad all had wee holes in the board and pegs on the tiles so that the game wouldn't be ruined by the slightest knock. Sadly no more. It also comes in a stupidly huge box to make storage unnecessarily awkward. Disappointing.
