Great for Traveling August 2, 2004

The best thing about this version of the Scrabble game is that you can literally play it anywhere. The tiles are a bit difficult to handle so you have to be a little careful with them, but this little baby is small and packs easily. I have played it a lot on planes and have taken it on vacation with me to play with people when I get bored. Its portability is its best feature. Just be careful not to lose the tiles.
 Best version of Scrabble yet! January 9, 2005

I love this version of Scrabble as it stores so easily and takes up very little room. If you begin a game and can't complete it the same day you can still close it up with the tiles intact. It just is really neat. I highly recommend it.
Play Scrabble - IN BED!! December 23, 2003

It's revolutionary - you can play Scrabble in bed, on the couch, in the car, anywhere. You can hold the board and racks at any angle, toss them around like frisbees, and stop your game at any time to resume later. My girlfriend and I have become hopelessly addicted to it, along with hardcore opiates. We spend a lot of time in bed. These people complaining about the design of the tiles and racks... maybe they have arthritis, or really fat fingers, or some kind of developmental disability... but we've never had any trouble with it. I suppose I wouldn't recommend it for children or the elderly, but Scrabble has never been a children's game, has it? I also suppose, in an ideal world, there would be a better way to design a portable Scrabble game. But at $20 it is an amazing value, and a WAY cooler design than the $30 "deluxe" version with the corny woodgrain finish. I just bought four of them as Christmas gifts.
With a little patience, a fantastic travel game April 29, 2004

If you're a Scrabble nut (like my wife and I), this handy little road version of the home game is a blessing. It very handily folds up for storage and can be quickly and easily broken out for use. During a recent trip with several long layovers and securiuty stops, we never hesitated to break out the game and play a hand or two. Two annoying features: the aforementioned "popping" tendancy of the tiles to go flying through the air, and an inability to shuffle your tiles around on the racks. A minor third annoyance is lack of space in the traveling case for a dictionary (which has lead to some airport acrimony) - you have to place all the included items just so just to get it closed. Nevertheless, if you're willing to a) press down on the surrounding tiles when placing new ones for security, b) use your visual imagination with your tile rack and c) get the wife to carry a paperback dictionary in her purse, this is an indispensible accessory for road trips, flights, and vacations.
 Awful version of a great game October 8, 2004

I love scrabble, but this version is just frustrating. The tiles are constantly popping out of the board, and are hard to snap into the holders. If we had played this game on a plane instead of in my living room we would have lost half of the tiles due to the ill-fitting spaces. You also can't rearrange the letters in the holder, so all of my friends ended up holding them in their hand instead. I returned the game the day after we played to the Toys R' Us that I bought it from and bought the regular edition.
