Amazon.co.uk Review
This is another edition of the world-famous popular word game for two to four players. The object of the game is to compete for the highest score by forming interlocking words in cross-word 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 most use of the letter values and premium squares (eg: triple letter score, double word score, etc.) on… More >>If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to the Bishopsteignton Taxis RSS feed.

I’ll assume that you all know how to play Scrabble. Well, this travel set is AWESOME! The letter holders fit neatly under the playing surface when not in use (I notice a previous reviewer said they needed to be stored elsewhere when not in use? Not sure what they are on about there, just leave them under the board!) and because the letters are magnetic, you can just pop it all away mid-game and then come back to it!
To the reviewer who said that there is no scoring system, I draw their attention to the markers on the sides of the board (visible in the photo above) – you simply slide the counter to indicate the number of points you have – i.e. ‘x’ no. of 1’s, 10’s, 100’s.
When not in use, the letters fit in a tray which slots neatly inside the board, and the handy storage bag doubles as the letters bag when play is in progress. The attention to detail on this product as A1.
We travelled the world for two years and this game was invaluable for whiling away long flights or just relaxing in the evenings…word of advice though – buy the official Scrabble words book, or fast-track yourself into a divorce situation!!!

This edition of scrabble if you want a travel version but are not too worried about space (it is bulkier than the magnetic travel edition, but is much more durable).
The tile holders slot into place under one side of the game board (which lifts up on both sides) and the tiles and bag are stored under the other side keeping everything together in one handy unit. The tiles slide into the holders and click nicely into place on the board.
There is no need for pen and paper as the unit has a handy scoring system with sliders on each side of the board. The sides are numbered 1-4 as are the tile holders so if you need to postopone game play you know which is score and which tiles are yours. If you do have to stop play mid-game, there is no need to worry as the tile holders fold over holding your tiles in place and store neatly away under the board and because the tiles click into place on the board, this can be folded up without the tiles falling out.
The only down-side is that the tiles can sometimes be a bit tricky to lift out of the holders and when you go to remove the tiles from the board at the end of the game, they have a habit of flicking across the room (so keep an eye on them!).
On the whole, this is a great edition – one of the best travel games I have purchased!

For anyone who enjoys playing Scrabble, and like us, only gets the chance when on holiday then the travel edition is perfect for you. However, I agree with an earlier reviewer regarding the quality of the actual board itself. It is not as good as the original which had the holes for putting the letters in. This version is quite bulky, the hinges break easily and we have found we’ve had to buy a new one every couple of years…. maybe it’s a good marketing ploy!
Also on the last one we bought the ink ran on the tiles, not only did it rub off when you handled them, but when the board is closed and they touch the tiles on the opposite side they can transfer the ink on each other…. hence we played one game wondering who had the blank only to find it had been played as a ‘U’!!
I do think Mattel need to improve the travel version, but for now as we are addicted to the game itself we will have to keep hoping.

I was looking for a replacement for my travel magnetic scrabble as the letters on that tend to fall off as the glue holding the letter to the magnet melts in the heat. Apart from that, it was a well designed set which was compact and everything fitted into the board when not being used.
This version is much bigger. The board opens on one side (not on both as per other reviewers – maybe they have changed the design) to hold the racks and any unplayed tiles while played tiles can simply remain on the board.
My main gripe is that shuffling the tiles on the rack is not easy as they are quite a tight fit. I m anticipating losing a few tiles before long.

Everyone knows Scrabble. This toys mistake is that it calls itself Travel Scrabble. It’s not just for travelling. It should be called “letters that stay on the space they started on Scrabble”. There’s just no point getting the original version when it takes just one knock to redistribute every letter over the Board. Or am I the only clumsy one?
