Before I begin, this is a review of super boggle, and now, down to business

Boggle is a word game designed by Allan Turoff and trademarked by Parker Brothers / Hasbro, Inc.
The latest in the Boggle series is in my opinion the best so far, and has added a new angle to every game, with the 25 letter game every word must be over 4 letters, however, with the 16 letter game only 3 letter words are required. It is incredibly simple to play and all you need is a pen and paper, you have 3 minutes to find as many words as you can, and up to 200 words can be found in any one mix of letters.

There are very few contents in the box, there are just the letter cubes and the grid which they're placed into, there is also a case that the letters are shaken in. There are 2 sets of instructions, some on the box, and some in the manual, these aren't really needed because the way Boggle is played is common knowledge, but the best are on the box as they're much simpler to understand.
When you start to play, you place the case on top of the letters and shake, but if you wish to play with 16 letters you need to take the case out and store the 9 unwanted letters in side the cube, then you put the other letters in the grid. Once you have shaken it the lights begin to flash and once they stop flashing you may begin, you then have 3 minutes until the lights begin to flash again and this is when your time is up, the light will flash every 10-15 seconds until then.

One of the best things about the game is that any amount of players can play together and you can even play on your own. It really is good for waking up the brain and improves your knowledge of words no end and I have seen an improvement inmy vocabulary since I started playing it. However, if you're not a great fan of word games then this definitely isn't for you. The game is also very good for children who are trying to improe their vocabulary and it will help them with their reading.
Overall I think that this game is really good and it gets a cracking 9/10 from me as it has real longetivity and I will never get bored of it. Compared to normail boggle it is even better as there are two ways to play, adn there are flashing lights rather than having to depend on the egg timer which someone has to keep an eye on. If you like the normal game of Boggle then you should definitely get this version.

The price is now around £10 which is definitely brilliant value for the gameplay that you get, and it's much better than spending £50 on a video game that only one person can play and then other people get bored of it.
I hope this has helped you make a decision
