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, which features a magnetic playing board to hold the tiles in place. All the contents can be safely and tidily stored away inside the moulded case. 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

Customer Reviews

Travel scrabble
This is a fantastically portable version of the classic scrabble game. It is easily moved mid-game and is very light and slimline and so easily fits in to a pocket or handbag. Very good buy - very difficult to find supplier

Good But Not Great!
This edition is a nice compact size, easy for shoving in a rucksack pocket and great for that limited hand-baggage space.

The tiles are fiddly and stick together, but that is to be expected for something so small. The tile holders work well and slide neatly into the side of the board for storage when not in use. The letters stick nicely to the board and it can be folded closed mid-game without concern that your game will be ruined.

The big let-down on this addition is that the board, when open, doesn't sit flat and it feels quite flimsy - I half expect the hinge to break each time I use it.

This is a good purchase if you are very limited on space. However, if you can afford a bit extra space, try the travel edition which is much more durable, fits together nicely and feels like an all-round better product.

Too small and flimsy
It's the classic Scrabble game, but it's too small to be usable. The main problem is the tiles - they 'bend' and eventually the magnetic coating separates from the letters.

The normal travel scrabble is a much more sensible purchase.
