We are a family that loves to play board games on holiday but so many games are bulky with pieces that are easy to lose. Other than cards and backgammon, what can you suggest for a family of four whose ages range from 10 to 50?

An age-old favourite, Scrabble now comes in a magnetic pocket-size version that you can unfold and play anywhere.

Are the letters very small? And isn't it a bit fiddly?

The case is the size of a small watercolour paint set. It has two trays to store the magnetic letters and a holder for those that aren't being used which slides out of the case. You can even transport it with the game half-finished.

How do you score?

There are small number counters at all four sides of the board.

What does it cost and where do I buy it?

It costs £10. For stockists, phone 01628 500306, and for more details, visit www.scrabble.com
