Customers like the size of the game. They mention that the board is larger than the original, the additional letters and larger tiles make it exciting, and the game works better in this larger format.

Customers are mixed about the stability of the game board. Some mention that the tiles stay in place, the raised grid keeps them in place well, and the tiles fit in properly on the grid. Others say that the board folds in the middle, making tile placement difficult in the affected areas.

Customers are mixed about the rotation of the board.

It turns 360 degrees and rolls smoothly, which makes it easy to look at. However, others say that the board was plastic and does not turn easily, it's more difficult to turn around, and it'd be awkward to rotate this large board especially if you have anything else around it.

I was a bit apprehensive purchasing it because of some reviews stating that the board was a bit flimsy, and that the tiles did not sit properly along the center of the board. But even if that was the case, I was OK only because of the fact that it had 200 tiles and a bigger board - something that we really wanted. So I went ahead and purchased it.
It was shipped to my country India within 1 week. And let me tell you that I was totally satisfied. I found the quality to be very good, and the tiles fit in properly on the grid, even along the center. The board looks professional and special. The wooden tiles were of good quality, and had a comfortable silky feel to them.
We have just finished our 7th game, and I feel this has been one of my best investment. I highly recommend this to all Scrabble lovers.
This large plastic gameboard has raised edges framing each square on the board that help keep the pieces in place.
It rotates by using tiny ballbearings encased throughout the bottom of the board. It works best on a large, flat, solid surface. It is a bit awkward rotating this large board especially if you have anything else around it. We play the game on a table all by itself and keep score, drinks, etc... on a side table.
It is roughly TWICE the size and has TWICE as may letters as the standard scrabble game so more and longer words can be formed. It takes much longer to complete a game too. We are often leaving an "unfinished" game up overnight and continue it the next day and have even left "Your Turn" note on the board with the last word spelled.
We are very pleased with "Super Deluxe Scrabble"... A++
As far as the game play goes, we love it... but as far as durability goes, I'm not too thrilled with the way the board is made. The seam where the board folds not only won't always lay flat, the board comes apart there on a regular basis. In fact, I think the board has come apart every time we play the game... We're not rough on the game; the board is just made in a slip-shod manner. So far, my husband has been able to put the board back together again each time it comes apart, however, it is plastic so I'm not expecting it to last like it should.
I can't recommend this version of the game to families with young children because of the structural defects of the game board; aside from that annoying flaw, I do recommend the Super Scrabble game to families with teenage children and to adults who like to stretch their vocabulary. Families with younger children should probably consider the less expensive regular version of Super Scrabble - the one where the board isn't plastic.
---- addendum ----
I'm revising this review nearly four years after the purchase of the game. We still love the expanded scoring opportunities and extra board space... and for a wonder, the board hasn't broken on us - yet. It still comes apart on the same regular basis - not quite every time we play anymore, but still more often than it should. The main change I've made is to the durability rating, which I decided deserves only two stars, not three. Yes, I paid too much - well over $40, but no, I'm not a bit sorry. I do wish the board was better made though, especially since this version of the game seems to be no longer available.
Therefore, I cancelled the Platinum and ordered the Super Scrabble Deluxe Edition. It is awesome and we got it in days not weeks at 1/2 the price.
I was a little disappointed about the turntable, it is very different than I had when I was young and there are twelve ball bearings, six in the middle like the old days and the other six are on either side of the board. I just checked how easily the turntable works and it is perfect too.
I am still going around and round with npfister3 who sold me the Platinum edition. He said that I had to cancel the order with his buyers. I have no idea what he is talking about his name was the only one on the Platinum scrabble.
