Amazon.co.uk Review
This is a new luxury edition of the ever popular world famous word game for two to four players. The object of the game is to compete for the highest score by forming interlocking words in crossword 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 the most use of the letter values and premium squares(eg: triple-letter score, double-word score etc) on the board. The manufacturers recommend that it is suitable for people age 10 years of age upwards which is more or less accurate but slightly younger children could play, especially if there is some measure of supervision. The contents have all been designed to enhance their look and to increase their function. The large board, 38 cm square, has a rotating base allowing it be turned easily during play, a polished wooden frame, and an embossed playing surface with a raised grid to keep the tiles in place. There are 100 wooden tiles of various values, and 4 storage racks on which players arrange their tiles, and a velvet bag stores and holds the tiles. Also included is an excellent booklet explaining in a straightforward and clear manner all aspects of the game. "Every word counts when you're playing this deluxe version of the world's most popular word game."--Susan Naylor

 Another poorly made scrabble February 13, 2008

I have to agree with the other poor comments about this set. We had the Scrabble Anniversary for 60 which was a nice set but did not have a grid to secure the pieces so that set was returned.
We then purchased the cheaper so called 'Delux' set for 30 and other than the well written manual on playing the game the rest was terrible and seriously tacky to say the least. The center tile area with the apparent grid just didnt function, the grid varied in depth all over the board, the board being made of cheap tin metal, the underside is really cheap plastic, the wooden sides are certainly nothing to write home about and seem out of place to be honest as wood normally means quality and yet the rest of the item is tacky.
No extras like a score pad or timer, so why its called 'Delux' I have no idea. Franklin Mint might be able to say 'Delux' to there 400 scrabble set but thats another story which we intend to investigate as it appears the Franklin Mint scrabble might be your only option if you want to play on a decent set as there is nothing to my knowledge under 100 thats any good or worth buying.
I think this set is highly overpriced for what it is. Really do not advise purchasing this.
 New Deluxe Scrabble January 29, 2008

A real disappointment compared with the old deluxe. The tiles do not fit into the raised grid, which is not sufficiently deep to keep the tiles in place. Plastic tile racks and plastic edge to the board. A waste of money!!
Scrabble delusions January 14, 2008

My review follows the same vein as the others which have criticized it.
I bought my parents a deluxe version of Scrabble about 10 years ago. It is superb...so I thought I would treat myself to a deluxe version. What a load of rubbish it is!
Tile racks are cheap plastic.
The board which I was led to believe would be wood is cheap plastic
The swivel board however does work.
The tile grid on the board is so shallow, it is pointless. By the time you have 'swivelled' the board, your tiles have moved off the grid positions.
The 'velvet' tile bag is far from velvet. A cheap stiff material.
And finally, where are the pencils and the score pad that are in the deluxe version my parents have? In this version there is nothing, just one page for you to use as a score pad in the instruction booklet.
If you are going to buy Scrabble, save yourself some money and buy the original version, this one is not worth a penny!
Not quite as deluxe as it sounds May 31, 2007

Scrabble deluxe is not a terrible item but it wasn't what I was looking for in a luxury board game that costs more then twice the normal game - for those looking for a nicely made WOODEN board I suggest purchasing the Anniversary Edition - for some reason this one is not as widely publicised as the Deluxe even on Amazon it was hard to find but it is there- this has a quality real wood board, wooden tiles and tile racks (unlike the plastic ones that come in the deluxe) as well as having the turntable feature - all of this and it comes with a nice wooden case/storage box so its good enough to display - I could go on and on about how much better this board is when compared to the deluxe version - the only thing better then it is the deluxe scrabble board sold in Harrods which is truly a thing of beauty but at 2000 is a bit too rich for my blood!
 A great upgrade February 10, 2007

This is a classic game and with good reason. It's simple to play, but with infinite levels of game play for all ages and ability. Not only is it fun, but it stretches your vocabulary and mind as well. You'll have many a happy hour if you buy this. Highly recommended.
