Editorial Reviews
Manufacturer's Description
For 60 years Scrabble has been challenging the world with its fun, demanding and sometimes maddening word play game. This special 60th Anniversary edition is ideal for collectors and fans of the game. It comes with a translucent board along with opaque green tiles with silver lettering. The iconic tile racks have also been given a radical makeover, and the box has metallic lettering and window packaging, making it a lovely gift for Scrabble fans, or those new to the game.
Did you know Scrabble was invented in 1931 by an unemployed architect named Alfred Butts? It was quietly played by just the inventor and his friends until 1948 when it began to be manufactured and sold. Scrabble is the world's bestselling word game and once people start playing this famous word game they are usually captivated for life. Each player must make the best use of 7 letter tiles drawn at random, taking turns to form words crossword-style across the playing board. Scores are given for letter values and are boosted by premium squares on the grid. The highest score at the end wins. This is a great opportunity to update and treat yourself to a brand new Scrabble.

Customer Reviews
Poor version may look good but not functional
I bought this based on the previous positive reviews and ignored the bad one - this was a mistake. Yes Scrabble is a good game but this is a review for the 60th Anniversary edition. The board IS dark and once the pieces are down it's hard to spot the double/triple letter markers (and we have good eyesight). More annoying are the overly stylised tile holders they are unstable, fiddly and don't hold the tiles very well! The board doesn't swivel and you don't get scoring pads or timer but then this isn't a deluxe version. Overall I wish I'd bought a different version.
Brilliant Value for money
Just bought this game for my 10 year old. The board actually clips in place and does not move about as another review suggests. The pieces stay in place in the grooves. It's a lovely board game and great value for money. Would definitely recommend this purchase to everyone.
As good as the original - and better!
I've played with the original many times although this is the first set that I've owned. I like it. It's good quality and although the colour and the overall design may not appeal to traditionalists and/or people with poor eyesight, it is more functional (pieces are locked-in place by the raised edges of the grid) than the original and well worth it at the same (low) price.
