Winning Moves Super Big Boggle with 6x6 Grid and 36 Letter Cubes Games USA, The Biggest Boggle Game Ever, 4 Minute Sand Timer, for 2 or More Players, Ages 8+ (1165)

Got this for my mum as Boggle is her favourite game and she loved it! The bigger size makes it a much more interesting game. Great quality and very fun!

As a kid, my parents and I would play Boggle regularly. That very same Boggle set I now play with my own children on occasion, so when I saw this extra large version I was intrigued, and had to have at it.So Super Big Boggle consists of a plastic tray in a 6×6 grid formation, with 36 letter dice to fill those holes and a sand timer so games don't drag on too long. (The regular Boggle is 4×4, by comparison.) Noticeably the tray lid is much squatter than for regular Boggle but this did not affect mixing the dice at all and I think a deeper lid would have been quite unwieldy.Because the grid is much larger, it gives many more opportunities for longer words and the rules even say to not look for three letter words, though you could if you wanted to. Because you are looking for longer words it does change the dynamics of the play quite a lot. In regular Boggle I had a system of gently working my way around the board in 2×2 blocks, finding every word short word I could as it was far more effective to find two three-letter words for two points than to find one five letter word for the same score. In Super Big Boggle this obviously does not work and, instead, you just need to stare at the board to find the longer words, so there's less writing and more pressure.In Super Big Boggle the points for longer words are huge: you get a whopping five points for a seven-letter word, eleven points for eight-letters and then two points per letter for anything longer. And it's not uncommon to find such words. In my recent game my daughter managed to find "antelopes" (18 points) that I did not find to secure the win.As a further wrinkle, two of the dice are somewhat special: there is a die that consists only of letter pairs such as 'th' and 'sh', making those longer words more likely, and a second die that is a solid block on three of its sides, denoting that that grid space is out of play this game.The production quality is middling as you might expect from a Hasbro game: whilst the tray and lid are nice, the letter dice are plastic, rather than wood like they used to be, and several letters in my copy are printed mis-centred. Having said that, the corners of the dice are so chamfered that the dice nearly always all fall into their respective holes without much tapping of the tray at the end. The included timer is fine and there is a useful box insert to hold everything in place.So I think this is an excellent addition to the game library. It differs in feel from regular Boggle without really taking much longer and gives great satisfactory moments when finding long words. Production could be a little better and I feel like it could have been £10 cheaper for what it is, but I'm happy regardless.

Fantastic... my 12 and 9 year old kids insist on a game every morning before school and of course it teaches them new words as well as being great fun. They are just as desperate to beat me as I was to beat my mum when we played the old 4 x 4 Boggle when I was a kid. LOVE IT!

Love this game, and it really improves your word knowledge. It can be played at any age. My brother was so taken with Super Big Boggle I bought it for him on his birthday.

We have played the regular boggle which my daughter loves so got her this for Christmas. This one is superb. You get a bit more time to find your words and because of the size we find that people sitting at different angles to the box see completely different words so there are lots of opportunities to get words that noone else has seen which is particularly good for the children who get disheartened when everyone sees the same words as them. The double letter cubes are a great addition.

As fans if boggle we have progressed from the 4 to the 5 to the 6 square game. We are addicted.Only down side of ordering from the States is the cost of postage and then the import tax you have to pay at this end when the postman delivers.

My wife and I play this most evenings and enjoy every moment. It is well made and offer s hours of brain stimulation.

The flat shape of the top means the letters don't get mixed quite so well as standard Boggle and the top is harder to remove when ready to play but I'm not going to mark it down for that as we still really enjoy playing it.
