Swoggle (1986)

About this game

Players take turns rolling the die and writing that many letters on the crossword grid using a water-soluble marker. Each space on the grid has either a printed point value or a color that indicates points are to be determined by additional die roll(s). Players get to choose their own letters so they never get stuck with a letter they can't use. Best New Word Game 1991 -- Games Magazine

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 4. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 1.4/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
