LTL10109 Scrabble Prestige Edition

Excellent quality board with a rotating base, makes the game a lot easier without letters flying everywhere. The inner base is also Excellent to keep the pieces altogether. Great value for money.

This scrabble set is great as is revolves so each player can see it the right way up, plus the letters fit in grooves so it keeps them from slipping about.

Review for the Tinderbox Prestige Edition Bought as a 2021 Xmas present so not used yet. So rating values given on impression but unused. However the revolving mechanism is smooth and robust and has 3 rollers so there is no board wobble. Will probably only work properly on a table or other decent flat surface. Wooden tiles, reasonable quality and fit the board squares nicely. Board is significantly larger than the standard board (not a problem but I had not realised at time of order) so take note of the dimensions. Board also stores the other components so has a significant depth - again just be aware. Looks rather good sitting on the table, rotating smoothly.

Good scrabble game, not cheap but good

Nice product but very overpriced but then I knew this so not complaining, my main gripe is with the outer box being in a flip lid type box I do not see it lasting very long would have been much better in a lift off lid type box which is much stronger as the product itself is bulky.

Great present for my friend. It is a prestige version made of a wooden turning table. My friend loves it👍

This product promises so much but does not deliver. The box and board are a generic item designed for several different games. This in itself is not an issue, but the fit and finish is far from perfect. The lacquer on the lower part of the box has run in several places which makes it look somewhat untidy. The tiles themselves are ok, but many have an off centre printed letter, which again makes the price seem utterly absurd. Included in the box are 4 stands (these are reasonably well made), a score pad and pencil, and an egg timer. The timer is a pointless addition, designed to stop people taking too long on their turn. At the start of a turn, flip the timer upside down, and if the player has not placed a word when the timer runs out, they forfeit their turn. Of course, this only works if the timer is allowed to run out between turns, otherwise the next player has ot wait for the timer to run out the rest of the way before they can start their turn. The cloth bag for the tiles is again ok, but it is so small that the only way to draw a tile without seeing it is to play the bag behind your back. The size of the bag also makes it impossible to properly mix the tiles up, and with the tiny amount of space between the lower frame of the box and the lid, the tile bag will not fit properly into the box with the score pad unless all the tiles in the bag are perfectly flat. The board itself is fine, although in the pictures, it seems like the raised bevel between the tiles is made from metal - it's not, the whole board is moulded plastic, which in itself isn't an issue however at the price, I would expect better build quality. When a product includes the name 'Prestige', I expect it to be well made. This item uses a generic box (used in their Cluedo games as well, and very likely in many others), a reasonable injection moulded plastic board albeit with badly aligned printing, a tile bag that's too small, tiles that aren't the same size or printed in the centre. Don't waste your money - there is nothing prestige about this other than the price and the overinflated promise of quality. I love scrabble. It's by far my favourite board game, and I was hoping that this item would be a family board which we would be able to get many years of enjoyment from. Sadly, I won't be able to start enjoying playing again until I've gotten over the £80 I spent on this frankly insulting offering! If you want to play scrabble, buy the cheapest set you can get, and a small wooden turntable to place the board on. I cannot stress how much of a waste of money this "prestige" item is.

I've been an avid fan of Scrabble, playing a lot of games on various Scrabble editions, and I swear that this is one of the best Scrabble boards I've ever played on. While many so-called "deluxe" editions are in fact cheaply made of plastic, this Prestige Edition does truly live up to its name, with a sturdy and attractive game board. The wood is very beautiful, suitable for leaving out on your game table. The board rotates on a built-in turntable, the grooves hold tiles in place, and all the items including wooden tiles, racks, tile bag, sand timer can be easily stored in the storage compartments in the game board. A must have for all the Scrabble lovers.
