It appears that others are reviewing many different aspects of this product which confuse the rating system here on Amazon. I'm a board gamer for 40+ years and have this to say:As for the quality of the box, board, tiles, packaging, etc. It's identical to an original Scrabble game that comes with the wooden tiles and wooden tile holders, IDENTICAL. Same quality graphics, printing, sturdiness of the board, box, packaging, etc.-As for the actual game itself, it may be better for some people to think of this as a different game or as a sequel to the original Scrabble game. This has TWICE as many tiles. (Actually, 2 packages of tiles, where original has only one package). The board itself has an almost double amount of playing squares printed on the board. The board is printed in such a manner, that you actually can see the original board, plus all of the new spaces, because the printed color denotes the actual board area as the ORIGINAL LOOKS, all the same colors, etc. The 'extended' area has a newer color pallet, denoting the added squares to be played, plus the triple scoring squares use a NEW COLOR CODE.-So, nothing locks in place, it's all IDENTICAL to the original with wooden plating pieces. I purchased a lazy susan on Amazon that is a good fit, plastic with plastic gripes, so when turning the game board, slowly, the tiles do not shift.A word about playing: a typical game with people paying attention will take about 70 minutes for two players, 90 minutes for 4 players. Someone suggested that 6 people could play, and I can understand how that is plausible if you salvage 2 tile racks elsewhere, and I'd only guess the playtime could then be 2 hours.On a personal note, I love this super-size game board, because for years I've always wished for an extra column or two on the board because words I could create could not be played because spaces were limiting during play. I had no idea this was even available until I stumbled upon it here in Amazon while looking for something completely different. If you found this review helpful, please click the 'thumbs up'. Thanks.The tiles slide around which is inconvenient. Bit love this game!!!!Best version of Scrabble. Lots more letters and opportunities for larger words and higher scores.If you've played Scrabble, you've pretty much played Super Scrabble. Super Scrabble is pretty much a bloated version of regular Scrabble, with more letters, more spaces, and bigger bonuses (e.g., quadruple word score). If you're a casual player and only break out the Scrabble board every once in awhile, you'll probably want to stick with regular Scrabble. If you play often and also find that regular Scrabble just doesn't last long enough, then this might be for you. This game lasts a little over twice as long and, in my opinion, it's twice as fun.In regular Scrabble, a 60 point word is a very very nice score. In Super Scrabble, it's not terribly uncommon. The scores are much higher and it just feels different than regular Scrabble. I play regular Scrabble on a routine basis, but when I break out the Super Scrabble, it's an event!Super Scrabble isn't for everyone. If you can't sit down for an hour and a half or two hours playing Scrabble, stay away. If you rarely play Scrabble, this probably isn't the board for you. If you already have a regular Scrabble board and you want something bigger, then by all means this is it!Cheaply made game board nearly impossible to turn to next player without disturbing the letters and having to replace them on the proper squares. Maybe for $25 it would be understandable but at the requested price it is not acceptable. Only bought it because we had played on a rotating durable plastic board that had pockets to hold the letters in place while playing. Will be returning the game after playing 1/2 the game.You either like the "Super" concept or you don't. My wife and I are in our eighties and use our Scrabble virtually daily. We both feel that the absence of any dementia is related to the mental exercise the game provides.The life expectance of the game's physical structure is about 700 days, and all at once, poof, the board and the bag fall apart. Cost maybe a nickel a day. A bargain among bargains. The one that I just got had one tile split in half and the bag was not sewn closed on one side.The beauty of the game is that it is good for all ages for all reasons. It helps to have a good vocabulary, and it helps even more to be able to retrieve information quickly.This is larger version of an old favorite. If you love word games you should like the larger version of Scrabble. I recently had a guest visit for 7 days and we managed a game a day and thoroughly enjoyed our time together and the challenge of filling a larger board. I think that this game is especially good for people who have always loved Scrabble and would like more. Since the games are lengthy I'd recommend that 'newbies' start with the smaller version for quick play - and for the love of the game to grow on them. I was a bit disappointed in the quality of the packaging and board and if you are a serious Scrabbler and want a board game that lasts it might be worth a few more dollars to find a better edition.Wow, this takes way longer to play! We were at it for over two hours, my brain hurt! I love scrabble and this version is so much better. Sure beats tv or both of us on the ipad at opposite ends of the room! Nice to be engaged in an interactive way with your spouse, I had forgotten how fun this game is. We had to re learn this on a recent trip to the mountains. We both sneared at the idea of a game room but ended up spending more time playing scrabble then watching tv, it was really fun. Now we have our own scrabble to play!Ordered the super scrabble for my mother inlaw, she absolutely loves it.This was a Xmas gift for my mother and she was completely smitten buy it..
