Scrabble to Go by Winning Moves Games USA, a Travel Version of The World's Favorite Word Game, for 2 to 4 Players, Ages 8+ (1202)

Great game! Well made and pieces stay in place. Plastic tiles snap into plastic grid. You can stop game to take with you and come back later to continue and pieces will still be in place.

This travel Scrabble set has been a perfect addition to our family trips! All the pieces, including the letter holders, fit neatly inside the case, which zips up for easy storage and transport. The letter tiles are small, but not too small, so both kids and adults can play comfortably. My 9- and 12-year-olds love playing it, and it’s a fun way for them to practice spelling at the same time. We’ve used it at the dinner table on cruises and during downtime on vacations like in the airport. It’s compact, convenient, and fun, so I highly recommend for families on the go!

Nice, compactable Scrabble game, great for traveling, small enough for flights and being somewhere where there is no game you love. Easy to pack.

This is a replacement for a decades-old travel Scrabble set. The construction is good, the case zips closed and there's enough room in there for a few dice and Yahtzee scorecards. As a Scrabble game the tiles are pretty small, which is a fair tradeoff for the convenient size. The tiles adhere well to the board, and if you stop mid-game your rack of tiles can be snapped closed and secured to the back of the game board so the letters remain secret and available to resume later. I find the rack difficult to use during the game, and instead use anything handy as a screen to keep them secret. That's not enough of a negative to deduct a star from the review score.

I bought this to replace the identical product that I had for years, when I tried playing it recently after a couple years of not traveling and discovered I had no blank tiles...which then led to counting the tiles and determining I was missing about 15! That's the basis of the warning in the title of this review. It's a travel kit, so naturally, pieces are small and easy to lose along the way, so just be careful about making sure you're putting everything away correctly when you close it up. Great way to play Scrabble when away from home. I docked it one star because the travel case should have better built in storage for the paper and pencils you'll obviously need to keep score while playing. It's annoying to clean up the tiles when done because of the grid that holds the tiles in place, but that's obviously intentional and good since it is a travel kit that will be subject to bumps in the road and turbulence, so no stars taken off for that.

Tiles do stay in place even when closing and storing the game. The tile trays close and so even the tile trays can be put away with tiles in them. So a partly finished game can be just put away. The text on the board is kind of small. but it is a travel game and lap sized so is as expected. I don't see anywhere that says you can order replacement tiles when/if any of them become lost. That to me is sort of a big deal. I guess if you loose a tile you have to order a whole new game?

It was a great size to still fit in my backpack with other items. The pieces click in and boards go away, so we could put the game we were playing away at night and continue another day. Only CON- is that the board didn’t stay flat all the time regardless of the surface, it kept popping up slightly- but it didn’t affect game play. Just would be nice to not happen, but wouldn’t prevent me from buying it.

Plusses: Game is compact, self-contained, and has its own nice case. Letters are big enough to read. Makes it easy to to stop in the middle of a game, because pieces stay in place on the board and in the players' racks. Great for playing at an airport while awaiting a flight. Minuses: Tiles are hard to handle, awkward to push into the board, and way too easy to drop and lose. DON'T play on an airplane, because if you drop a piece, you are unlikely to find it. The racks are small and difficult to open.
