Travel Scrabble Deluxe
by Milton Bradley

Our Price: $19.99

Availability: This title usually ships within 24 hours.

Synopsis
This compact version of Scrabble, the old-fashioned family favorite, will make a long train commute or cross-country plane journey pass more quickly. The 10-by-11-inch plastic board with its raised squares holds the tiles securely while you play, then folds up to become a neat, sturdy, 6-by-11-inch carrying case for the clear plastic letter racks and the cloth bag of tiles (you can use the bag for drawing letters). The letter racks can fit into the sides of the board if necessary, though they're not obviously meant to do so, making this less of a car or bus game than it might have been; still, it's perfect for train, plane, or boat. Be careful not to drop the tiles, as they're quite a bit smaller than standard Scrabble tiles--but even if you do, good old Milton Bradley will replace the ones you lose. E-N-J-O-Y (15 points)!

Travel Mancala checks in at a mere 4.75 inches by 3.5 inches, so it's small enough to tuck into a backpack or bag. No worries about lost stones either: a loop-and-peg closure on the hinged, hardwood board keeps them snugly in their cubbyholes.

Sesame Street fans are in for an exciting tour of Sesame Street. This set includes a car with trailer and quad bike, lots of gray plastic track, a functioning bridge and car wash, a service station, a campground, a control unit, and figures of Elmo, Ernie, Cookie Monster, and Big Bird. Assembling the unit is easy: just match up the letters on the ends of the track pieces and snap in place. When fully assembled the roadway fills a space approximately 3.5 feet by 4 feet. Radio-control cars are often extremely complicated to maneuver, but this unit's simple forward and back toggle switch, turn switch, and horn button posed no problem for children as young as 2. As the red plastic car speeds around the track, the engine revs, headlights shine, and brakes squeal. Along the way, Oscar pops out of his trashcan, the bridge opens and closes, car wash brushes spin, and the quad bike loads onto the trailer at the service station and unloads at the campsite. This is a fun radio-control roadway that will have Sesame Street fans absorbed for hours.
