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.

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.

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.

The concept behind this version of Scrabble is fantastic. I would give it five stars, but for the tiles. Every other quality makes it near perfect.
The problem with the tiles is that they are *supposed* to stick in place on the board where you put them. But the reality is that they are difficult to manipulate and often pop out of their places as you try to press down on them. Also, the fold in the folio sometimes pushes the board slightly which can pop out tiles or make it difficult to press them firmly into place. Finally, after several games, one of my letters no longer fits snugly into place. So, this may mean that the tiles may be a little fragile in that respect. Clumsy people shouldn’t be able to break them easily.
That said, the game is perfect for playing on a bumpy train– as long as the tiles don’t pop off the board, they don’t move easily. I havn’t made use yet of the option to continue the game at a later time, but the security of the tiles while on a boat or train made playing, well, possible! 🙂
Also, the outside folio case is durable and the zipper handy. When closed, the folio is more like a small piece of luggage and is easier to manage than its plastic casing predecessor. You don’t have to worry about making sure that all of the tiles are flat when you close it and you don’t risk breaking it by closing it “wrong.”
If a new version comes out with tiles that don’t jump and still fit snug into the board after hundreds of games, I’ll up my rating to five stars.

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.
