Is this the old game with wooden tile holders or the new plastic version? I'm looking for the old one.

First the game is different from the old scrabble in that it has a bigger board and more tiles. This game has wood tiles and holders. as for fun, this is a great improvement to the original game. however the squares are a bit larger on the board but the tiles are the same size as always. this creates a mis aligment on longer runs over the board. Not something to stop playing but one wishes the designer had played the game on the new board. hope this helps.

It's the old style with wooden tiles. It's is a lot more fun and challenging.

Rubber totem. Older versions come with the wooden totem but that's dangerous with this game. Rubber is way to go.

I did not realize there are so many variations? The picture I am seeing is the Hasbro game (4 & up) - totaly different shapes than the original game when I was little? You are right...looks like only 9 pieces. I purchased the MB/Milton Bradley (5 & up)...25 pieces & the SAME exact board as the original. This also has a compartment on the back of the game to store all the pieces. HOPE THIS HELPS!!! TAKE CARE! :)

I gave the set as a gift and do not have it in front of me. The tiles are plastic and the tiles seemed a bit thinner than the standard set. It is a nice set and the persons I gave it to enjoy it, they keep it in their motorhome and play all the time while away from home.

Hi Kendyl, Yes this is the listing for the "original" larger game. You will see that there is also a statement that there is a newer version - this is the one one you do NOT want to purchase.

The totem is hollow rubber, the sort of thing bathtub toys were made of in the 1970s. Great game, though.

I don't know about the old version. The new one I Purchased broke In two days. The removeable base latches broke and plastic cracked.

I'm afraid I don't recall what the case was made from. What I do remember is that it was the same type of material as a previous game I gave my folks many years ago and it lasted for years until my mom moved after my dad's passing and the game somehow did not make the move. I was also impressed the ivory colored tiles are just as beautifully done as they were 20 years ago. I bought the new game for my mom to replace the old one lost in the move -- she was absolutely ecstatic with it, saying it was just as good as the first one! If you enjoy Mahjong, you won't go wrong purchasing this set -- it's worth a lot more than what you're paying. Joni

It is a one piece 14" X 14", hard plastic, raised, hollow-back game board with 1-inch sides. The tiles are sturdy 3/4-inch, hollow-back, plastic squares. The game board surface is a grid with small plastic pegs rising out of all four corners of every grid square. These pegs hold the tiles in place so that they don't slide around on the board. However, the tiles are not truly "locked", snapped or fixed tightly in place; they will fall off if the board is tipped or turned over. The corner pegs just keep the tiles lined up so they don't free slide across the board when the board gets bumped as they can in a traditional flat board version.

I'm pretty sure it's plastic, but it's a thick, sturdy plastic. Not quite like a domino, but smooth and heavy all the same. It's definitely better quality than the pieces that come in the cardboard box game set, but not the same as the ber quality game pieces with gold plated faces I've seen in the mega deluxe velvet-lined walnut box set (Monopoly had a similar luxe set). Having said that, this is still a nice compact set. The inside of the case is lined. Instructions and die are included. It would still make a great gift for your Rummikub enthusiast. :)

Amazon used to have sets available but now out of stock. In the meantime, there appear to be sets available on eBay. A friend and I play with some colored plastic squares made the right size. We not only replace standard letters but add some "extra turn" or " lose turn" tiles in the draw pile. You take a chance if you draw tiles from the replaced tiles, knowing you could benefit or lose a turn.

They are the same tiles you get with all Rummikub games. They are not just painted on wood. The tiles are some sort of plastic or polymer.

Yes, it is and both the tiles and the case are very nice. I enjoy it a lot, specially when I have so much fun playing this game with my husband and/or our grandkids.

The first one I ordered (supplier Etailz) last year had this same picture but received the new version of the game. I returned that one and ordered Classic Edition which had the gray board design from the 60s from supplier Winning Moves. That time I got what I expected. The customer service was great for the return.

Revised is the reprint with full color art. Apparently the old version didn't have full color. Also may have some rules changes. Source: http://www.sjgames.com/general/press_releases/100514.html

We started playing tonight. Love the game. But, seems tile reaction got slow after just a few hours. But, loved the game new!

I believe this is the second edition of the game from Eagle Games, not sure of the differences from the 1st to 2nd, but as far as I know the one they are selling is the 2nd edition that was released in 2010.
