Hasbro Scrabble Crossword Game with Power Tiles

scrabble is a good old fashioned game suitable for players of almost all ages. it is easy to set up and fun to play. a good speller has an advantage, but it is still a game for most people to enjoy

The tiles are basically weightless, The stand is unfinished balsa wood and the box is thin bendable cardboard. In addition the board is also thin cardboard with just a sheet glued on that was already starting to come off when I opened the game. DO NOT purchase, invest in a better version or if you are lucky get a vintage version since the quality is significantly better.

My Mom and I love playing Scrabble, but the board is smooth and the tiles tend to slip out of place. It's kind of annoying when you have to go score words and you mess up the placings. Oh well, we still enjoy playing it. The power tiles that come with this game changes the way you can play the game, puts a new twist to it. You can use them to block your opponent so they cannot build a word onto the place where you put it. We've noticed, though, that although you use the power tile, you may never be able to come back and complete the word (or build a new word) yourself because of lack of the right letters, so the powertile is useless anyway and will just sit there throughout the game untouched.

I was pretty impressed with this game! It is cheap, has everything you remember about Scrabble, and the new Power Tiles rules make the game MUCH more fun than it used to be. The sweet spot for us seemed to be at 3 players. Four players can take too long and there are not enough plays for each person to make.

This game is challenging and so much fun! Arrived in great shape and very fast. Our 8 yr old grandson loves to play with us and we enjoy many family times playing it together. It is still one of the best games around for learning and fun!

I read that one of Hasbro scrabble boards has felt underneath making it easier to turn. I actually bought some felt one attaches to chair bottoms in order to not scratch the floor and makes it easier to move. I plan to stick a bunch of these on the bottom of the scrabble board in order to swivel it to the person who's turn it is.Since it turned out to be so much fun to play again, I am going to buy the deluxe edition that swivels and holds the tiles in place,etc.- it is portable in a case form and other goodies but as a trial to see if the family likes it, this is a good starter set but not quite fair-since it will not swivel ,giving the one player it faces a winning advantage because that one person can read the tiles normally and not backwards or sideways.

A great way to help with the younger kids and their spelling,and the older kids competing for the best word. It is almost the best of both worlds. Education,which you realize,and fun,which is all they realize. Scrabble is as much fun as ever.

Don't get me wrong, the quality of this product is great; all the pieces are included, sturdy board, game pieces and packaging. However, I simply prefer the "Original" old school scrabble better without the power tiles and the rules of everyone getting "freebie" tiles. I'd say you could play by the old rules, however, the "freebie" tiles are a plastic color and easily differentiated.

海外のお土産で遊んだことがあり、日本で購入できないかと数年前から探していました。アルファベットのコマと手元に並べるラックが木製のものを選んでの購入。いい感じです。コマを入れる袋は透けない黒い袋です。 箱サイズ およそ400×190×40mm ゲームボード 二つ折りで開くと390×354×2mmくらい。丈夫な紙製です。どのくらい耐用性があるでしょうか…。箱には８歳以上のゲームと表示されています。道具を大事に扱える年齢からなら心配ありませんが、コマも縦横2cmと小さいので小さいお子さんには注意が必要です。 説明書きは英語ですが、ボードのイラストに注釈をつける形になっているので、得点の計算方法など分かりやすくなっています。。読み解くのも楽しめたらいいですね。我が家では辞書を片手に、綴りの確認や知らなかった単語との出会いを楽しんでいます。英単語に親しみを持つ機会になっています。 小学校から英語を習うようになっているので、小・中学生の兄弟へのプレゼント用にも購入しました。

I use this game to play with my students in Mainland China. I've been teaching there for 7 years, and they love every opportunity to practice their English with a native speaker. Sometimes, the game generates more humour than anything when the students try to invent new English words that will help them get more points!

中高生の生徒と楽しんでいます。面白いと好評です。ありがとうございました。

Got this for my mother at Christmas. She as shocked that I'd got her this new one, to replace to 20+ year old one she had. We play the first night, was great. Just a classic game. More people should be playing this as a family, instead of head down playing with their phones!
