Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I just received this game and I was very disappointed. I knew there were some bad reviews before I had ordered it, but decided to go ahead with it anyway since there were so many better reviews. As soon as I open the package I noticed the messy glue job all over the board. I haven't checked other things but the letters on the tiles were bright and legible. If I can't see the workmanship what's the point of paying extra?
