Highly Recommend This Game!!
This game is so fun to play. It does humble you if you are not a great speller. The look and quality of this retro game is unmatched. I love the look of the old with the quality of the new. The pieces are well made, everything fits perfectly when storing and it provides a fun was for us all to spend time together. I am not a huge game person but I do love playing Scrabble. I love it even if my nephew totally beats me and has bragging rights for awhile. I highly recommend this game to anyone looking to purchase a new fun and entertaining game.

The Original Scrabble!
Just like I remember from childhood. Purchased some expensive plastic version first before I found this one. Junked the older – this is so much better. There’s also a nice bag for the letters. We used to use a paper bag for this function when I was a kid. 🙂

Who said you canât go back in time?
This game was almost like its original I remember as a child. The only difference I could tell is that the wood square letters are lighter in weight. Itâs a better quality than I was expectingSince things are made cheaper these days.

love this editions
Love this edition of Scrabble. The retro series is the same as the one I had when I was younger. My siblings when they saw it thought I had found our original game (LOL) and thus led to a long night of scrabble. Thanks, Hasbro, for bringing it back.

(See photo)The box is battered and damaged (see photo)The tiles are NOT wood, but plasticThe board itself is marked, even with bits of stale food stuck on it.

Simple and solid, just like the original version. Has all that is needed to focus on the game and skills itt encourages, without gaudy distractions. Well made and packaged. Just what I remember board games were like many years ago.
