Razzle (1981)

About this game

Two players compete to score points by finding a four-letter word from six letters on dice, or challenging the opponent to do so. Each victory moves the dice carriage one space closer to the goal, and reaching the goal scores a point. Ten points wins. Sort of a cross between Boggle and tug-o-war. Razzle is a word dice game.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• 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.
