Fun for Wordmeisters

I've had a lot of fun with this game, though admittedly, I have not used it for more than just solitary "Boggling". I started out playing Classic Boggle, and was having fun with that til I discovered "In Your Face Boggle"! This is infinitely more challenging, as the cubes are coming up at you as if they were in a well rising to the top, and you are looking down at them from the top. You form as many words as you can before any of them reach the very "top", thus timing you out. I have the most fun just trying to beat my own best score.

There are 3 other variations also, besides the two I've mentioned. I've tried them all, and each one is unique. Way beyond the "Boggle in a Box" that you've known for years!

This CD also allows you to play against other players remotely, by modem or network, though I have not tried that yet.

My biggest complaint about this game is the frequency with which it crashes. Now, that is an exercise in frustration! That being said, I would still buy it again though. I've had many hours of fun with it!

Good, two player stuff could be better

I really have fun with boggle. The only thing I wish was that it would have better games for two people to play. I still think it worth it and it can be fun as a solitary game.

Great Word Game!

I have had this CD for about a year and still never tire of it. It has enhanced my vocabulary immeasurably! I really only play the "Master Boggle" instead of the reagular 3-letter Boggle. Some of the other options are very interesting to play. I like it so much, I'm ordering another to keep at the office (shhh, don't tell my boss!) Well worth the minimal cost for some brain-working fun!

I have fancied myself a good Boggle player since I was introduced to the original game more than 20 years ago ... It's been difficult to find people willing to play with me! (: I purchased the CD early this year, and now play it regularly over the internet (at www.zone.com/boggle - you do need to have the CD to play there) - and it's often a humbling experience! They also regularly have tournaments at that site which are a lot of fun. You can also become "ranked" as a ladder player if you wish (at www.igl.net/zboggle). I don't know what it is about this game, but I could play it every day without tiring of it. Getting to "meet" other players of all skill levels has been great as well. It's also fun just to play against the computer, which has several skill levels to challenge you. There are a number of variations on the original game (BreakAway, Battle, Space, and In Your Face), but to me the Classic Master is the best.

Boggle is always a feature of our family get togethers, but with all of us scattered to the winds (NY, FL, CO, OR) it's only a few times a year. After the CD-ROM version came out a few years ago, I bought several copies, gave them as gifts to the family members, and we meet online at the Microsoft Zone and play all the time. I don't know what is more fun, the game, typing messages, or using Firetalk to talk while we play. Awesome.

A great way to enjoy a favorite game!

As a fan of Boggle, I was overjoyed to find this computer version so I could play against the computer. I like being able to use the Master Boggle board (25 cubes) for an added challenge. You can set the level of difficulty by choosing the ability level of your opponent.

I have three criticisms about the program: 1. The list of allowable words has some words that no one in their right mind would know. The program provides definitions for most words, but not for these obscure words...and the words you need definitions for are the obscure ones! 2. Mr. Boggle (the computer expert) comes up with all the obscure words; and 3. If you make two computer opponents with the same skill level, they list all the same words and therefore cancel each other out. It's an easy way to win, but it seems like an oversight on the part of the manufacturer.

I don't enjoy the 4 variations quite as much as the original, but they are interesting to try.

They include words that when you press the key for the definition, there is no definition.

Boggle is a wonderful game that sees action year after year, even after a multitude of other games have been purchased. Yes, there are words with no definitions, but you do not need to know the definition in order to get the points for the word. (Just learn to spell it correctly!) And usually those words are the ones that no one else gets. : ) You can play regular boggle or master boggle and set the time for one minute up to five minutes rounds. You can add your own words to the dictionary. Play solo or up to three other people. The Master Boggle computer player always gets the top 35 or so words, so look out! Only wish there were more people able to play at the same time and maybe team play (2 vs. 2). The other four variations are nice, but are only for two players.

A great time for word enthusiasts

I've had this game for YEARS. It adds a whole new dimension to the traditional parlor game. I've even got my mother hooked. You can add words to the dictionary if you choose. The only criticism is that the dictionary is not complete. If you like word games and the computer, you'll love this.

I made the error of not checking the system requirements and this game does not translate to Windows ME.
