 Product Description: The Scrabble game draws family and friends around the board with the fun of building interlocking words and the competition for racking up big scores! Whether you play traditional rules or the rules for shorter gameplay, there's a new challenge everytime you play. Editorial Review: After all these years, it's still hard to get a triple word score, the tiles are still made of wood, and there's only one "X" in the whole box. The game of Scrabble has sparked feuds and a near-cult following. All the fuss is over a spelling game that hasn't had an upgrade in 50 years. It takes a little luck and a lot of skill to make high-scoring words out of seven little letters, sometimes with an overabundance of vowels and letters that don't go together--sometimes there's Q without U. Two to four players battle it out on the board, and while some players might be proud of impressive words ("I spelled gestalt!"), skilled players know how to use the premium letter and word squares on the 225-square board to their best advantage. This crossword game has strict rules (no names, no slang) and comes with a warning label: "Choose a dictionary first to avoid any ugly word disputes." --Lynne Sampson Customer Reviews: Rating:  Date: 2008-04-27 Scrabble, One of the Best Games in Life Scrabble (Scrabble: Classic Edition) is an entertaining way both to stimulate young brains and to keep mature brains developing. This kind of play is beneficial. There is nothing wasteful about the time spent playing Scrabble. (Unless you are playing with someone who spends too long trying to think of a word.)
There is some correction needed on the description of Scrabble. One is the age limit! It is recommended that a player be eight years of age to enter the Scrabble community; but with today's child prodigies, I think this age for eligibility could be lowered to six. Since the pieces are tiny, and the wood looks delicious, it is not safe to leave around where it could entice little ones to eat them; otherwise younger brilliant children could use the tiles for their enlightenment when the game is not being used by the conventional players. The upper age for playing Scrabble is ninety-nine. I don't know why one-hundred-year-olds would want to give up Scrabble!
With the widespread concern about the waste of fuel, maybe it is time to play more Scrabble. This game is fun, and it has been around unchanged for about fifty years. People still love it. It requires nothing but two, three, or four brains and a comfortable place to spread the board. Every household needs a Scrabble game. Despite its longstanding popularity it is still reasonably priced. It would make an ideal gift for many occasions.
Rating:  Date: 2007-11-15 Classic Scrabble Unfortunately, this low cost Scrabble board has no insert to secure the letters so, at the slightest jolt they go all over the place.
I would not buy again.
R Boyer Rating:  Date: 2007-11-05 Scrabble, an old game, but still fun. Since I purchased this Scrabble game as a Christmas gift for one of my granddaughters, I cannot answer any more questions about it. It will not be opened for another month or so. It is sealed and I don't want to break that seal to look inside. I am unable to answer the query with the stars above because I have not seen the inside of this game, nor have I played it with my grandchild yet. I have played Junior Scrabble with my granddaughter and she liked it a lot. Rating:  Date: 2007-08-27 a must have for your game collection Having 3 children ages 16,14 & 10, its fun for all ages and adults too. The only comment the kids said was they wish it had a grid that would keep the tiles in place. I believe that is available in a more deluxe model but we got the basic game. Overall its a great game to have in your collection. Rating:  Date: 2007-07-28 Scrabble - the classic! Scrabble is a classic, fun for children and adults. The game's educational value is awesome because it provides a chance to get better at word-making from a luck-choice of letters. This game is good for family and friends. I love this game because the only luck of it is picking the letters which even makes it more educational. Scrabble is much more based on the skill of the players rather than the luck. If you are deciding to get it, I must tell you that you are making a good choice! |
