Foggle (1978)

About this game

Foggle is a mathematical game using 16 dice and a shaker like the letter game Boggle. However in Foggle the dice have numbers instead of letters, and the object is to form valid mathematical equations. Basic game : Two or three dice are thrown to create the key number. The players then have 3 minutes to find as many correct mathematical solutions as possible to generate this key number from numbers resting in a 16 cube grid. Many different game variations are possible and are all described in the rules.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 8. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
