Product Information

Parker Brothers has introduced several licensed variations on the game. As of 2006 [update], only Boggle Junior and Travel Boggle (also marketed as Boggle Folio) continue to be manufactured and marketed in North America alongside the standard Boggle game, apart from a licensed keychain miniature version. Boggle Junior is a much-simplified version intended for young children. Boggle Travel is a car-friendly version of the standard 4×4 set. The compact, zippered case includes pencils and small pads of paper, as well as an electronic timer, and notably, a cover made from a soft plastic that produces much less noise when the board is shaken. Words within words are allowed, such as "mast" and "aster" within "master". Neither the cubes nor the board may be touched while the timer is running.

Boggle is a word game in which players try to find as many words as they can from a grid of lettered dice, within a set time limit. It was invented by Allan Turoff [2] and originally distributed by Parker Brothers. [3] Rules [ edit ] Three words found in a sample Boggle game: In this, each player reads off their list of discovered words. If two or more players wrote the same word, it is removed from all players' lists. Any player may challenge the validity of a word, in which case a previously nominated dictionary is used to verify or refute it. Once all duplicates and invalid words have been eliminated, points are awarded based on the length of each remaining word in a player's list. The winner is the player whose point total is highest, with any ties typically broken by a count of long words. One player begins the game by shaking a covered tray of 16 cubic dice, each with a different letter printed on each of its sides. The dice settle into a 4×4 tray so that only the top letter of each cube is visible. After they have settled into the tray, a three-minute sand timer is started and all players simultaneously begin the main phase of play. [4] While not as widely institutionally established as Scrabble, several clubs have been established for the purpose of organizing Boggle play. Official Boggle clubs exist at a number of educational institutions, including the Dartmouth Union of Bogglers at Dartmouth College, [10] the Western Oregon University Boggle Club, [11] the University of Michigan Boggle Club, [12] Berkeley Boggle Club at the University of California, Berkeley, [13] CCA Boggle Club at Canyon Crest Academy, and Grinnell College Boggle Club. [14]Players will write down all the words they can find on their own paper. Words must be at least three letters long. Any word that can be found in a basic English dictionary can be used. When the timer goes off, all players will put down their pen/pencils. Then you will take turns reading off the words you found. Turner, Julia (2013-08-01). "Boggle Is Better Than Scrabble". Slate.
