My boyfriend and I are Scrabble addicts! We play every night. Super Scrabble is so much fun. You have twice as many letters, spaces and scores. The board features 441 spaces vice 225 on the original. There is also the addition of quadruple word and letter spaces. We love it and now our friends as us to bring it over too. If you love Scrabble, you will love Super Scrabble. Warning: Games take twice as long.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great new variation, but we need a "deluxe" version, December 28, 2004

By	Traveler (New England) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Super Scrabble (Toy)

Super Scrabble is such a great idea that it's surprising no one thought of it until now. Twice as many spaces, twice as many letters, bigger words (more educational and more fun), and higher scores.

The one big drawback here is that this game doesn't come as a deluxe version with grid lines and a spinning lazy-susan base. You nudge the board and it's likely the letters will move. The deluxe version (of the original game) is far more user friendly - if you nudge the board the letters don't get all scrambled and those with bad eyesight can easily spin the board in their direction so they can see better.

Still, I highly recommend this game. And to the game makers: Please make a deluxe version!

5.0 out of 5 stars Just Super, January 18, 2005

This review is from: Super Scrabble (Toy)

Super Scrabble has a bigger board (21x21) and twice the letters of regular Scrabble. Think of the possibilities - two Q's, two Z's! But the letters aren't blindly doubled - the distribution has changed a bit. Throw in the quadruple letter and word squares, and it's a whole new game. If you like Scrabble, this is sure to be a hit.

Keep a regular dictionary close by, as well as the standard Scrabble dictionary. Because of the different letter distribution, there are words possible in Super Scrabble that aren't possible with regular Scrabble. You still keep the same number of tiles (7) on your rack, so you won't really be playing longer words. It takes a little mental rearrangement to get used to looking for the new bonus squares, and a little effort not to overlook the old triple standbys.

The board is spacious enough that it's easier to play long words deep into the game. The bigger board could be a little bit of a pain to twist around if you don't like to look at it upside down - we've been putting it on the lazy-susan on our kitchen table, and that has worked out just fine. But be warned, the bigger board is also easier to bump into, which skews the letters around - the surface seems to be a little slicker than our regular Scrabble board.

The games do last a lot longer - if we start a game in the evening, we almost always have to finish it the next day. So far, it's been easy to more than double our normal Scrabble scores. Highly recommended if you're a Scrabble-addict or just like word-intensive games.
