Boggle- Great For The Whole Family
If you are a looking for a wonderful board game that you can play with the entire family, I definitely recommend giving Boggle a try! We decided that it was time for a family game night, and picked this up at the local store. The packaging is nice and bright, and definitely caught my eye on the shelf among the other items.
To start the game, all of the available letters are placed inside the cube. There are lots of tiny little dice with letters on every side. One person is to shake the cube until all of the dice settle into the holes on the bottom. After that has been done, one person will flip the sand timer over and everyone can begin playing.
The object of the game Boggle is to create different words out of the letters that are on the playing board. To create a word, you can only use a letter that is touching the last letter that was used. Each player must try to create as many words as possible. This gets to be a lot of fun when you are trying to "outsmart" the other players and create long unusual words that you hope no other players will get a chance to think of.
After the timer runs out, everyone must put their pencils down and stop writing immediately or they will become disqualified. Going around in a circle, each person takes a turn reading the list of words that they came up with out loud. If another player has the same word, all players must mark that word off of their lists. At the end of the round after everyone has taken their turn reading their list out loud, each person will get points for all of the words they came up with that nobody else had.
One of the best things that I enjoyed about this game is that an unlimited number of people can play all at one time. If you have a large family, it can become difficult to find a board game that everyone can play at once. With Boggle, nobody has to be left out of the fun. I also really enjoyed that while the game is fun, it can also be educational for the younger players and older players alike. I know that while playing, I learned a few words that I didn't know existed! Be sure to have a dictionary handy, just in case someone wants to challenge a word that has been created.
I know that this game is definitely going to be a big hit around the holidays when we have family and friends coming from out of town. We are always looking for something fun to do together, and I think we have found it. The kids can enjoy playing a game with the adults and this is something that people of all ages can enjoy. Even the younger kids were able to have a lot of fun making the smaller words that they have already learned, and they were fascinated learning the bigger words that the adults created too.
Boggle gets two thumbs up from me for sure. This is definitely a game that I would recommend to others if you are looking for a fun way to spend an evening with your loved ones!
