Scrabble, Diamond Anniversary Edition Review

This is a great edition of the classic game of Scrabble. I liked the design of molded plastic case that opened to reveal a raised-grid to keep your tiles in place. The device is robust and strong and would travel well enough through the integrated handle and all-in-one construction. The merits of the case has wheels swivel to allow the player to player easily and has two slide-out drawers that hold all the game pieces Speaking of game pieces, tiles inlude this snazzy black wood with letters of money, a soft velvet bag to keep them inside and rounded tiles futuristic plastic red light (as opposed to those of old wood). The design of the actual playing surface is less striking than previous versions as it seems "candy-coated", but is still nice enough.

The new set is very happy and on board finally moves for all to push it and really see what it returns. The racks are great curves. Just a few down sides. It is, they use the same color in this edition for the double letter score that they used for the triple letter score in the original, and color that was the triple word score in the original is now the color for double word score! I love that this set is more like eye candy, but they could not have imagined a few slightly different colors for these spots, instead of changing what we're all used to? I am not a reactionary - like change, but it just seems sort of redundant. It is annoying for a while, but we can adapt. The other minor thing is that there are no carpets partition. This is offset however by the fact that all things can be easily Toteda around, because it folds into a nice little lunch thing square. You can leave your edition Onyx with box the size of New Jersey home.

My family has always been a family Scrabble so I bought three sets as gifts for Christmas this year to improve the advice they have used over the past 25 years. Everyone loved them. Compartments in the tray for storage of wheels on the bottom of the table, everything is wonderful. Someone in a previous review complained about the double and triple word squares are different colors than the original set is true, but does not affect the enjoyment of this game whatsoever. I love the parentheses around each square as I'm sure someone who has played this game before it has had an incident in which the jury was struck and letters moving around - no more! I highly recommend this series to any Scrabble fanatic.
