This book is the perfect size for traveling. It fits in my purse so those long commutes are much more enjoyable.
This is a paper version of the classic dice game, without the dice, tray or egg timer. And if you make it over 100 points, you're really doing well. The rules are still the same, you link letters up and down, side-to-side and diagonally to create as many words as possible. The more letters in the word, the more points one gets. To add some serious brainbusting, they often stick in mystery words and word categories to find while you're linking letters. Challenging.
This was the first Boggle book that I bought. This is a great puzzle book to have during a lunch break, waiting at the doctors/dentist office, recuperating from an illness/surgery, during a trip or waiting on transportation for the trip or just relaxing at home or even in the park. Also, on each page there are special "Brainbusters" for you to find.
The book starts with a simple 4x4 block of letters and has about 36 lines that you can use to make words. Some are easy, some require a bit more thinking. I absolutely love them because I enjoy the challenge of making as many words as I can.
They give the clues and then you have to find the words. The challenge to me is to try to make double that amount. After a certain amount of the 4x4 grids, they increase to 5x5, 6x6 and then there are a couple of 18x18 grids in the end.
It's great brain exercise. If like to have fun with letters and words then you will enjoy Boggle Brainbusters.
My daughter and i use this and we both love it. We will take turns or time each other. And some of the puzzles are very challenging and others not so much so I can always find one that suits us both.
I love playing Boggle, both the original game and the computer game, so I was disappointed with this book. The rules are somewhat different, making it too easy. Also, there is no "correct" word list, so you can assume all the words you make are correct. Just not what I had expected.
