I was very hopeful about this product. I love Bananagrams and the Scrable name gave me reason to think there would be another fun word game to add to our collection. I was disappointed with the quality of the product. The letters are a cheap plastic that flip over easily. If you want to do an upside down shuffle of letters it doesn't work because the plastic is thin enough that you can see what the letters are, and you can especially spot the extra value ones! I would recommend any of the games from the folks at Bananagrams before this one.

If you like scrabble, but hate waiting while other players ponder, this is
the game for you. You don't take turns -- any player can call out a word they
see at any time, and other players words can be stolen if you can take one
of their words and add available letters to create a new word. This really
speeds up the game and makes it more exciting.

This was a gift to my eight year old daughter. She has always been a good
speller, but this game has helped build her vocabulary and spelling ability.
I have found that she is faster than I am at getting words. The only reason
I win more often than she does is because I know more words. In a few years
it will be a struggle for me to win when playing her.

One minor drawback: With the letters turned upside down, the yellow plastic
is thin enough that you can tell which ones are red before turning them
over. I recommend leaving the tiles in the cloth apple sack and reaching
in without looking to draw new tiles instead of turning them upside down
on the table.

I recommend Scrabble Apple for children and adults. My family enjoys it.

The term "toy" is not quite what my 9 year old would call this. He thinks if you read or spell during a game (and it's a weekend) it is a punishment...

As an adult that enjoys thinking games, this one is good. Not so great for beach play on a breezy day, as the tiles are light. I've adapted it to play solo too. Great alternative to Bananagrams.

The directions were a tad less than clear.

My family-who loves to play games-only played this for ten minutes before we rejected it in favor of Banagrams. In fact, we actually argued over the rules before deciding that it was a game that should be placed to the side.

If you are looking for a fun word game-buy Banagrams!

Speeds up your word skills no matter what your age, with such a simple yet challenging game at a very reasonable cost.

found this at walmart store for similar list price. great to have a portable scrabble game. cute packaging--similar to banagrams. great to take along to sleepovers for the pre-teen crowd or in the car on trips to grandmas.

This is a great game for people who are competitive and like to spell quickly. Way fun for me- not so fun for the guy I was playing against. Compact, take it with you game. I will be looking for people to play with me. Loved it!

I received the item very promptly. It was priced well and the quality was great. It is a fun and educational game for all ages!

I bought this to go with our Bananagrams game and I love the cute shape, but the tiles are way more cheaply made. I'm going to get Appletters instead and see how it is, because the tiles look thick and sturdy.

This is a great game for travel and for at home. We took it with us on a recent trip to New York City. We were able to play in the airport as well as in the hotel while we waiting for the "group" to all get ready. Its a fun game with a small learning curve.
