Just outstanding. More room, more tiles, etc. Buy it if you like scrabble. My wife and I play this game multiple times a week. We're both scrabble fans, loving the original as well as presidential scrabble -- but this one is the best.
That's the good part.The board however, is a split-to-open design, and seems to (at least with mine) to have arrived slightly warped, which means that the letters along the fold tend to center.Frankly, it doesn't work very well, especially if you're used to playing on a deluxe edition board, or the Barnes and Nobles edition (and so forth).If you enjoy Scrabble, it might be worth it to you, but if you don't have a deluxe edition already, just get that instead. Super Scrabble is a fun concept, and looks well in design. Take all the times from Scrabble, and double them, and double the amount of spaces around the edges.
Everyone doesn't want to build around the triple word scores because of normal Scrabble phobias, which means you have a very center-concentrated game in what needs to be a very spread out game. When you feel like it should be over, you realize you're not even halfway done. Don't expect to want to see the people you start this endeavor with for a couple of days afterwords, as tensions will be high by the time it is over. The good thing about the original game of scrabble, it lasts just long enough so that once everyone starts really getting sick of it, you realize the grab bag is almost empty. This game is a lot like a marathon.
The board is the same quality as the original, and a bag is included for holding (and selecting) the tiles. Scrabble has always been fun for me and my wife. If you're a Scrabble fan, you'll enjoy Super Scrabble, but may not like what it costs. But the tiles are not as well-made as the original. The Super version is somewhat more fun, making the game longer and providing the possibility of more interesting words, and of course higher scores. My only complaint is the price for what you get.
Such games can be torture, but they don't happen often.Game-play is usually very smooth. Don't pass it up. "Winning Moves Games" is a great company. Like Mega Monopoly, Super Scrabble is a classic. Super Scrabble is certainly among the best board games out there. This game will most likely be so much fun that you won't feel the need to play the original Scrabble anymore. Once in a while, though, you may get caught in a game where you have very little room to place words.
In fact, this game is so good that you might as well put the old Scrabble in the closet and forget about it. Triple Word squares seem to be everywhere, and the coveted Quadruple Word squares make any word valuable.For any fans of good, quality, fun board games, Super Scrabble is a must.
Get out your tile rack, pick seven tiles from the special tiles bag, get out your Scrabble dictionary (if you have one) and get ready to play. Some areas even have Double Word squares in close proximity, making it easy to lay down your word on both.
Aside from making my all-time favorite board game (Monopoly: the Mega Edition), they have come up with a lot of other great games. There are often a dozen different opportunities per turn, providing you with numerous ways to score points, and, to top it off, the board is covered in bonus squares.
Buy it and prepare to spend some pleasant evenings at home enjoying a whole new Scrabble experience. And like Mega Monopoly, the game-play is pretty much the same as the original version (In MM, it's close, but different; in SS, it's basically the same), but the whole experience is enhanced, leading to better games and a lot more fun.If you double the number of tiles and add some more squares to a regular Scrabble game board (including more Double Words, Triple Words, and even the all-new Quadruple Letter and Quadruple Word scoring squares)., you've got Super Scrabble.
After all, why play the original when you've got a Super-Fun, Super-Big version.The only problem with SS is that the games may take a little while longer than they used to in the old version, but since there are so many more opportunities to score (every game I play I get at least two chances to use all my letters), you probably won't notice the time.
