scrabble game travels in first-class style with an all-inclusive, soft-sided zipper case. The Folio Edition makes this word game easy to play, simple to put away and a snap to pack. Perfect for plane rides or road trips, this compact classic has tightly fitting tiles that won't fall out. You can even pack up in the middle of a game and come back to it without disturbing the tiles. Game includes zipper case with gameboard, 100 plastic snap-in letter tiles, four plastic tile racks, score pad and cloth leather pouch. For 2 to 4 players. Measures approximately 6.5" x 2.5" x 10.5" when folded up.
This scrabble version is a very clever travel version. You can play the game in short sessions and it is designed to hold everything in place when you close it. When you open it back up for more play, everything piece is where you left it including your seven tiles on your closeable tile keeper. Wonderful product.
Love it love it love it! Played in the park and it everything worked as planned.
A few suggestions: Bring a pencil sharpener or a pen. If one was included it would have been perfect.
I loved the scrabble game as my teen daughter likes to play and wanted to be able to pack something in her backpack. You can stop the game and take it anywhere continuing to play at another time. This is a quality game and easy to use and store.
Spending time in Spring last year playing travel scrabble on the road with friends renewed my love of the game and they bought me a set for at home when they left.
Heading out on travels in the last few weeks I decided I needed my own travel version and found this folio edition.
On the positive side it is scrabble.
On the negative side
* Tiles are badly printed - the printing is not centered
* Tiles pop out of the board when other tiles are put in alongside them. Sometimes this means you have to put letters in at right angles to stop them popping out.
* The letters do not stay in the board well, I often find games that need to be scrapped as enough letters have fallen out of place to make the game impossible to fix.
* Scoring is pen and paper based. Fine until you run out of pen or paper.
Compare this to the UK version I played on my travels in the Spring.
* The letters stayed firmly in place - whatever we were doing - we never scrapped a game as letters fell out.
* Scoring is by slides on the sides of the board for 1/10/100 points, you don't need to remember or find a pen and paper.
Why these simple things cannot be available on the US version I do not know.
My US version is being returned and family in the UK are sending me the UK version. It is more expensive due to the exchange rate but I know I will be less frustrated with it. Check it out on Amazon.co.uk
This is a very nice version of Scrabble. It's perfect for a long (or short) airplane ride. It's small enough to fit in a carry-on bag and the size if just right to put on your tray. If you have to put it away, you can do so in the middle of a game.
The small size is great, but also a problem in that the pieces are easy to lose. With a little care though, you should be able to use this game for many years to come. This is one of my favorite Scrabble sets since I can take it with me everywhere.
We use this the most when we go camping. It is a nice way to settle down while dinner cooks and the sunsets, plus it is nice to have if it rains! What I love about this folio is the genius packaging: sturdy and well thought out in design. It is easy to pack up a game and move it to another location. The pieces stay put, so we have even successfully played over several rows on bus and van trips.
The only thing missing is a little dictionary to stop squabbles! I have to remember to bring that separately!
Very handy. The tiles stayed in place on the board. The racks can easily be tucked inside the case. It is jusrt as I had expected.
This was perfect for playing on a long flight. My only complaint would be the letters can be a little hard to get out of the board. But size it great for fitting on the airplane pull down tray. The letter trays are a must for bumpy flights.
I purchased this set because my fiance and I love to play Scrabble. This lets us play it any place. It's very compact and convenient. The tiles fit snuggly into the spaces and it's wonderful that you can save the game to continue later if you choose. We love it better than the big board game where the tiles slide around. It's a great purchase!
We love this set. My only complaint is that the pieces are very small. I have small fingers and I find it hard to handle at times. I think this would be hard to use at the beach or on the plane. We also had to rub each piece on all four sides at first b/c they wouldn't stay on the board next to other pieces. It only took a few minutes though, and all the pieces fit now! So if you have that problem, just take a regular emory board and file each piece on four sides a few times. This will wear down the edges just enough to make sure they don't pop out.
