I've played the traditional board for 50 years, and since my new wife and I play an average of ten games a week, it was time for something fresh. Our games had become "speed Scrabble" and were usually finished in 25 minutes, with the winner's score ranging from 325-410 or so. The $50 this version cost is equal to what we spend at the local cineplex for two movie dates with junk food. We expect to have thousands of hours of pleasure with this item. The board's ball-bearing ride does suck, as many other reviewers noted. Our solution has been to put the new larger board right on top of our old board and its lazy-susan turntable. Works fine that way on our dining table, on top of a placemat. It's been fun learning where the big score squares are, and waiting to get two "Q's" or two "X's" or two "Z's" at the same time. Our scores now, winning or losing, are usually in the mid-600's. It takes us 70 minutes for a game, cutting our play to one game a night, which doesn't hurt a bit. For anyone who likes to play regularly, with fairly competent opponents, I recommend it. You might end up making a few new words, and will definitely have fun learning the triple and quadruple letter square locations.Get more detail about Super Scrabble Deluxe Edition.
