Boggle has been going for a good few years now and is a really popular game even amongst adults.

The aim of the game is to score the most points in 3 minutes by making as many words as possible from the 16 lettered dice in the tray. Different letters have different values so you must be clever to find the highest value words.

The game comes with the boggle tray and dome, 16 lettered cubes and a 3 minute timer. You will also need a pen and paper for each player (these arn't included).

To play the game choose who is to go first. That player drops the letter cubes into the dome, place the cube tray grid down over the top of the dome. Next turn the domed tray the right way up, shake the cubes a little until each cube falls into place in the grid (you may need to adjust a few so they fit snug. The player then removes the dome and another player starts the 3 minute timer.

This game is good if your looking for an educational toy for your children. It does say age 8 to adult but I think any age from around 5+ can play - even if it just means making 3 letter words. It is also a good starting point for teaching the kids about spelling.

Summary: this is a good educational game
