(More customer reviews)Finally, a Scrabble game worthy of putting on my modern glass coffee table. Although many versions of the game look fantastic, such as the "deluxe" or the "$1000 franklin mint version", the natural wood doesn't fit for everyone. Looks of the Onyx version are sleek and elegant, and you can read the bonus squares better than on any version; not to mention the black/silver tiles are extra sleek.
Looks aside, the feel is solid, the board has a smooth turn. The tiles fit very snug in the raised dividers. The height of the board is a silly reason to give this 1 or 2 stars. It definitely looks better flush, and puts the board lower if you play sitting on the ground at a coffee table as I do. You can put your tile holders off to the side so they don't get hit. Every version of Scrabble I've ever owned didn't have sides on the holder (including some past deluxe versions). Again, a non-issue. Learn to be less clumsy. The board is built very well. Also, marking this board down for not including a distribution list is the one of the silliest things I've ever read in a review. It's like not having a hand-chart included with your poker set. You can print one off if you really want. Besides there are two charts facing opposite on the board in plain view.
Three minute timer with black sand is a nice extra. The score book is VERY nice, and comes with matching pencil which stores in the book binding. The black velvet bag is a nice size, and really allows you to shake and randomize tiles.
I also recommend the Onyx Edition Scrabble Dictionary. It matches beautifully, and it is the newest fourth edition that includes such words as Qi.
I have to say the [...] price is exceedingly high, and is not considered in my rating, as I did not get this from [...]
