Toys and Games Reviews of Boggle Folio
Customer Review: Better Than The Original Version
Summary: 5 Stars
Boggle is a game in which you try to make up the most words using the letters found in a 4x4 grid. The letters must connect and you only have three minutes to do so. The bigger the words the higher the points you get, but if two or more players find the same word no one gets points for it. The game is very fun and fast paced. Plus you can play as little or as much time as you want; no need to "finish" the game (like in Scrabble). Just add the points and whoever has the higher score wins, it's that simple.
This version is Awesome and nicely improved over the original version. Here comes the description;
NEW DOME AND GRID: The dome and grid are made of a new material that makes it QUIETER when you shake the letter dice. No more waking everyone up late at night!
BUILT-IN TIMER: It comes with an electronic timer (batteries are included) that beeps softly and changes color from green to amber, then to red when times almost up. This eliminates the need to bob up your head every 10 seconds to see if the sand timer ran out. Great!
PLAYING MATERIALS: Four pads and pencils are included, plus the instructions obviously.
COMES IN A FOLIO: Stores everything easily. The folio has pockets for the pads and pencils (extra space for more). You can carry it around comfortably and is great if you have to travel or wait for a long time in one place.
This version is so nice it should be called Boggle Deluxe Edition. If you like Boggle you must buy this. As soon as you do, you will not go back to the original version, guaranteed.
Customer Review: How is this travel sized?
Summary: 3 Stars
Boggle is an excellent game. When I ordered the Boggle folio I thought it would be great for travel. When it arrived I was shocked to find that the folio is much bigger than the original Boggle game. Yes it contains pencils (but no pencil sharpener ...), writing pads, etc. but these things were never hard to come by anyway. It is also not well designed. The plastic cover covering the letters is not high enough to allow a good shake of the dice. Finally, the price is not right. Had I known, I would have invested in a rubber band to put around my original Boggle set. Still, Boggle rules.Customer Review: Great game for adults or family
Summary: 5 Stars
I play this with my 7 year old and it gives her great practice. So I don't have too much of an advantage I limit myself to only 4 or more letters in a word where she can have as little as 2. I've always loved boggle and this is a great set, very convenient, built in timer so you don't have to worry about losing it or the sand sticking. I loved this particular set so much that I bought 3 more as gifts for family members. It has been well received!Customer Review: BOGGLE
Summary: 4 Stars
THIS IS A NICE SET FOR TRAVELING. ITS COMPACT, YET THE GAME ITSELF IS FULL SIZED. IT ALSO HAS A TIMER THAT BUZZES, NOT THE HOUR GLASS WITH SAND THAT THE OTHER BOGGLE GAMES HAVE. THIS IS NICE TOO, WHEN TRAVELLING IN THE CAR. EVERYTHING IS KEPT IN A ZIPPERED CASE WITH THE GAME, PENCILS AND NOTE PAPER FOR WRITING WORDS ON. THIS IS A VERY NICE SET.Customer Review: Pack clean underwear and this Boggle game!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a must have for serious travelers and all Boggle-lovers! The game is more portable, quieter, and extremely addicting. One addition we would make is to add a small pencil sharpener that catches its shavings, then it would be perfect. Be sure to get a small dictionary so that you can quickly end word disputes or your trip may be too long!
