Customer Reviews
Great, except small pieces Posted 05 August 2008
We love this set. My only complaint is that the pieces are very small. I have small fingers and I find it hard to handle at times. I think this would be hard to use at the beach or on the plane. We also had to rub each piece on all four sides at first b/c they wouldn't stay on the board next to other pieces. It only took a few minutes though, and all the pieces fit now! So if you have that problem, just take a regular emory board and file each piece on four sides a few times. This will wear down the edges just enough to make sure they don't pop out.
Compact and easy to use Posted 30 July 2008
If you play board games only at home, then there is really no need for alternative forms. But if you like to play away from home -- say at a coffee shop, on a train, or someplace outdoors, a traditional board game format usually does not work well. The problem with most board games is the board itself -- large, containing creases (so it tends to fold up on itself if not set on a perfectly flat surface). And the pieces do not stay in place, a particular problem when playing on a moving vehicle, or outdoors in drafty areas.
This board game solves most of those problems. First, it is very compact, so it fits easily on those smallish tables provided in most Internet coffee shops. Since it is small, it is easy to carry -- just stow it in your backpack or suitcase. Second, the game pieces lock into place, so a slight breeze or rough stretch in the tracks will not send the tiles flying or sliding around.
The only negative is that some tiles tend to pop out of the retaining squares on the board. A little cleaning up of the edges of the tiles with a pocket knife seems to solve this problem.
Travel Scrabble Posted 15 July 2008
Ordered this as a going away gift for my son's girlfriend. She loves to play Scrabble and loved this travel Scrabble because of its size and the way the tiles snap in and don't fall out. Would order it again.
convenient, but not durable Posted 01 July 2008
This Scrabble set is a convenient little game, but the tiles are very very small pieces of plastic and hard to handle sometimes. Great for kids to play with, but should really cost a little less, around $[...].
Clever Packaging Posted 06 April 2008
This product has clever packaging of an old favorite board game: Scrabble. Game has it's own merits as a teaching tool and also as a challange for adults who like the competition of a higher score.
