Boggle Bowl (1987)

About this game

In this quick and fun word game, players roll cupfuls of letter-dice and race to solve various word challenges. When the timer runs out, whoever has used the most letters gets to move the common marker closer to his area of the board. The farther along the marker is when the player scores, the more points he gets. The position of the marker on the board also determines the nature of the next contest.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.3/5 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.
