I still have my original Scrabble board from 19767.It might look its years, but
the tiles still fit snugly and it’s easy to spin. It has the durability of the
original Perkins Brailler. I think it came from the same stable.

Hope it is OK discussing Braille Scrabble here. Purchased this game on
Wednesday and played it for the first time yesterday. The board design is
certainly changed since I first purchased it back in the 1980s when the
scrabble board was an American one and the tiles fitted in so well. Then I had
a new cheap and horrible board after my nice American one got lost in the post.
Finally today's board is very ppoorly designed in my opinion. Wonder why the
RNIB has chosen this design rather than a design where the tiles can fit in
comfortably without moving about or lifting off the board. How do current
users of Scrabble get on with the board? Very disappointed in it really for
£29.45p when you consider a mainstream one is so cheap. As the game builds up
and there are more and more tiles on the board it is quite difficult really to
explore the board without moving the tiles accidentally.
