    Scrabble Deluxe Travel Edition

    Features: A stylish updated version of the travel edition. Players: 2-4 Ages: 8+ Just because you're taking a game of Scrabble with you on the go, that doesn't mean you can't do it with some style! Other travel versions of the classic word game are great, but you won't find a fancier one than the Scrabble Deluxe Travel Edition. This version of the game features a foldable wood case with magnetic closure, and the halves hide a storage area, where you can keep all of your parts without having to worry about losing anything.

    Tile Lock Scrabble

    Features: Tile-lock design keeps your tiles locked in place. How smart! Players: 2 to 4 Pieces: 100 Some versions of Scrabble feature raised edges along the gameboard to keep the tiles from slipping and sliding all over the place. The Tile Lock Scrabble version pictured above is a new take on this design but at a far less expensive price point. You can play the same game you've always loved, and keep your tiles where then need to be. The unique tile lock design also makes it possible to take this game with you on the go, though it's not marketed specifically for that purpose.

    Classic Scrabble

    Features: The classic Scrabble is a classic for a reason Players: 2-4 Ages: 8+ You can't have a list of all the best versions of Scrabble and not feature the base version of the game! That's exactly what this one is; a standard edition of Scrabble, which most people have somewhere in their home. This version comes with a flat printed board and doesn't feature some of the nicer versions' raised setting, which keeps the tiles in place. Other than that, it's the classic game everyone loves!
