Super Scrabble: The Deluxe Edition
Winning Moves Games has produced a brand new version of the classic family word game of Scrabble – Super Scrabble: The Deluxe Edition.
This new edition is a follow-up to Super Scrabble, which was designed by Murray Eskenazi and released by Winning Moves in 2004, and which marked the first time that the game of Scrabble had ever been altered. Super Scrabble is an officially-licensed Scrabble product and it has been approved by the National Scrabble Association (NSA). The game features 200 tiles instead of the standard 100 and comes packed with the original 100 plus a 2nd bag of 100 tiles with a slightly different letter distribution than the original 100. The board has 3 additional rows/columns of spaces and the point scoring goes as high as quadruple letters and words.
Super Scrabble: The Deluxe Edition builds upon that game by improving the game board with a raised grid to hold the tiles in place, as well as a slick turntable design that places the game board on a rotating base with ball bearings on the bottom of the game board so it can be easily twisted and turned, and each player can get an optimal look at the board, without fear of scrambling the tiles on the board.
Super Scrabble: The Deluxe Edition is the ultimate Scrabble game experience!
Has anyone noticed that the board has a major printing error? The 6th and 7th columns are switched! It’s most noticeable when you open the game with QUITE and you can’t reach the double-letter for the Q! Then you notice that the pink double-word squares are supposed to run diagonally but they don’t on the left side of the board.
You can see it in the picture above…the pinks above FOAM don’t line up and the space to the left of ENJOY should be pink.
Has anyone sought a refund? Does the company know?

Comment above is interesting. I haven’t played it yet so haven’t seen the board except in the pic. Are both the Deluxe edition and the regular edition misprinted? Can it be changed manually? There doesn’t seem to be a great demand for them so they may not get around to correcting it soon.

Yeah, the box is indeed misprinted but the game board is as it should be so no worries!

Hi again…In August the manufacturer said they were aware of the misprinted boards and promptly sent a new one. Took just a couple of weeks.

Quick question. If you’re buying a new & sealed one, how can you tell if the board contains the error? Is there a different manufacturer’s number on the back for the newer, corrected sets?
