|  | | Expert Tips and Fascinating History
If you've never played Scrabble before, the Gameplay Guide explains the rules in a clear, easy-to-read way. It also has lots of tips to sharpen your game (a list of "q-without-u" words, for example). The sturdy plastic board needs no assembly and the storage trays cleverly built into the bottom of the board are easy to find, especially with help from the Gameplay Guide. The game also comes with a Gameplay Guide that offers many helpful hints, as well as interesting historical tidbits (For example, did you know the game used to be called "Criss Cross Words?") A Sleek New Look for Scrabble
The black-and-silver tiles, the smoky red racks, and the velvety tile pouch give this Scrabble set a touch of class. The curvature of the racks help you to see your letters more easily than you could on the old, straight racks. During gameplay, the raised grid will help keep your tiles firmly in place, even when the board spins towards another player. The pouch helps keep all the letters and racks together during play. Put them in the storage trays when you're done, fold the board back up -- and voila -- you have a carrying case that makes this deluxe Scrabble game easy to take with you. Fun and Functional
We really liked the look of this colorful board, with its cheerful blue, green, red, and orange "premium" squares. We also appreciated the way the set folds up into a carrying case, complete with the storage trays and handle. It's not advertised as a travel set, but you can use it that way. You just have to be careful to hold the set closed when transporting it, since it doesn't snap shut. Also, the storage trays can get a little full when you try to put all the letters and racks in one tray, so make sure you tuck everything neatly into the tray so it will close. Millions of people around the world love the game of Scrabble, and we're sure they'll be just as happy as we are to see this new, improved edition with features that make it both more fun and more functional! What's in the Box
Scrabble board with two built-in storage trays, 100 letter tiles, tile pouch, four racks, and gameplay guide.

Mrs. S.
I've been playing scrabble for over 30 years. I own the 25th and 50th editions as well as 2 travel scrabble games.
My neighbor bought this diamond edition and brought it over to play. We were both very disappointed. It's just plain cheesy. The board folds to make a case - it looks and feels kiddy-like. This is not an edition you can proud of in front of company. SUCH a disappointmnet! :( Hope they do better for the 75th!
 Great Upgrade...Great Price! August 13, 2010

My husband and I were playing computer games one night and ran across scrabble and even though it was lots of fun, it just wasn't the same as the good ole original board game. We looked here on Amazon and found this Anniversary Edition and although we didn't buy it for that reason, we did buy it for the durability factor and the lazy susan board feature.
We have already played it, just the two of us, about a half dozen times for hours at a time. It is truly a classic and one that ALL children should experience.
 Why the weird color scheme? August 2, 2010
Douglas Hyden (Tallahassee, Florida)
Nice game. Well made and durable. I like the black & silver tiles, and the curved letter holders are thoughtfully designed. I like the way it turns on wheels instead of a turntable. I just don't understand why they felt they had to mess with the color scheme. Anyway, Scrabble fans should be happy with this board. It should last a lifetime.

My husband and I collect different Scrabble edition boards. We have about 10 different sets. This one is by far the best. The board has a turn table and is it's own box. Everything fits in one piece and you don't have to worry about loose pieces when you get the game back out. I love the pull out drawers. Great design!

Kinda funny how many people are upset about the color scheme. Oh well.
This is a great board. The indentations keep the tiles from getting out of control, the wheels on the bottom make it easy to spin, and the whole thing folds into one easily portable package.
Our only problem with it is very minor - the trays don't snap in super securely, so we've had them spill out a few times while carrying the board. Just make sure you're holding it level, or put a piece of scotch tape over the storage trays.
