Summary: Scrabble for Mental Acuity
Comment: After teaching for 34 years my husband and I sought silence and time to read books not associated with teaching. But we missed challenges, fun with words, and open displays of our "mental acuity". The minor aphasia and word-retrieval speed associated with aging were also of concern. One solution: NY Times crossword puzzles -- fun for one. How to have language fun for more than one? --- Scrabble!! I had forgotten how much fun it could be, and it's a great mental exercise as well. I highly recommend this particular game set because it rotates for each person to see the words on the board properly, it keeps all of the pieces in nice little drawers, and the individual depressions to hold each letter in place are extremely helpful.

Summary: Good family game
Comment: It a great game for family night. No real issues with the construction of the board except being nostalgic grew up with wooden tiles and this comes with black plastic tiles. Sometimes you can't have eveything.

Summary: Diamonds are a word's best friend
Comment: Since the only other scrabble game I've owned is about 20 years old, I thought this was a wonderful improvement. I love the fact that the letters no longer slide all over the board if it gets accidentally bumped, I'm thrilled with the lazy susan device so that the game easily rotates from player to player, the drawers are convenient for storing the tiles and holders and I like the bright, cheerful colors. I'm also pleased with the foldability, the ease of transport and storage. It doesn't include a timer, but I already have one. I also don't miss the score pad as I just use looseleaf paper. Overall, I'm very happy with my new game and play it often at homes or even at coffee houses with friends. It's very user-friendly and a great way to keep those little gray cells procreating! So, if you're flummoxed or in a conundrum as to what to buy, I'd suggest this Diamond Edition Scrabble game. Have fun!

Summary: They finally designed a portable Scrabble Game that makes sense
Comment: My previous portable Scrabble game was a nuisance. The tiles popped our of their places. I had always thought they should reissue the magnetic version. Now they've finally come out with a winner. Although this edition is compact, it is not small. However, its features make up for its size. Two spacious drawers provide storage (no scorepad is provided). The ridges around the squares keep the tiles in place. In addition, the board turns on wheels. They even curved the racks for added privacy. The case folds and has a handle for easy carrying. Good engineering, overall!

Summary: Fun and Educational - a perfect match!
Comment: I purchased this game for my almost-26-year-old son as a gift. It's one of his favorite games, which says a lot for a guy with former spelling "issues". I can honestly say that this game, combined with prefix/suffix information, improved his spelling and reading (and then comprehension!) significantly as a junior high student, and now as an adult, too! Thanks to the ability to read and understand, he became an avid reader, a better student, and even graduated from high school early! I know it sounds funny to attribute his success to a game, and I'm not saying that this game was the "it" that did it, but Scrabble sure did help! This particular version is more mobile for him whether he goes to game night at a friend's house, or stays home. It's easier to store than the old box version, too.
