Boggle

Bo

Boggle has been a favorite of mine since childhood. (Probably because I'm, ahem, pretty good at it.) I even love the loud noise it makes when you shake up the letter dice (although I simultaneously feel bad subjecting others to it).

The concept of the game: after randomly rearranging the letters on a 4x4 grid, you have three minutes to find as many words as you can. Words can go in any direction, even in crazy zig-zagging patterns, as long as you don't re-use any single die and you don't jump over any letters. If you find a word that no one else finds, you earn a point.

Verdict: Ah well. Finn didn't enjoy it very much, and Sam agreed with him, saying, "It's kind of like Bananagrams with no fun." Guess I'll just have to play by myself from now on . . .
