Will order again.Blessings,j Game in excellent condition. Delivery prompt ahead of schedule.
I play Scrabble on a regular basis and wanted a durable, "deluxe" set with a turntable to add to my collection of Scrabble sets. For this kind of money, I should not have had to twist in the rubber "legs" or stick the decal letter counters onto the racks, nor should I have had to suffer the embarassment of having the tiles slip off the board every time it was turned on its pedestal -- thus ruining the first and last game played using this set. As as matter of fact, it is not worth any amount of money.
It is made of cheap, thin, breakable plastic, with flimsy plastic tile racks, and a very cheap looking board. The only good thing I can say about it is that Amazon was gracious enough to send me a pre-paid return label, accept my return and fully refund my money. And, to add to the cheap quality, I had to put parts of the set together.
This Scrabble set is definitely not worth the $145 I paid for it. It is not. It's a shame that Hasbro has stooped so low as to to producing and selling at an exhorbitant price a cheaply-made version of one the most enjoyable, educational, and popular board games ever played.
If you're thinking of buying it: DON'T. When I saw this on Amazon and read the manufacturer's description (which turned out to be very misleading), I though it be would be professional quality.
Please respond. I was disappointed in that my granddaughter's version is unlike mine. The board is totally colorless unlike mine where there is a color code to each double or triple letter or word score.Also, I was led to believe that when I used my newly opened Amazon credit card I would receive a $30 refund, which I have not received.
Did someone make a error. Maybe some one needs to check if you have the right price listed. I can buy this from Hasbro and walmart for 29.99.
It has certainly helped my spelling skills. The game is really fun, and pretty educational. Drawbacks: The pieces are easy to lose, and turns can take a long time, especially if you have all vowels in your queue. For those who havn't played, scrabble is a game where you get 7 letters and arrange them in words on a board for points. The catch is that you have to make your word fit within other players' words by using the same letters.
