Bring back the old Boggle!,
This version of Boggle is not nearly as good as the classic version. If you can find back stock of the old version at some out-of-the-way toy store, get that instead. This version has much, much smaller dice, so they are much harder to see, and it doesn’t work for groups of more than three or so, and will not work at all for people trying to crane their necks across a normal-sized dinner table. There is a lid that prevents the dice from getting out of the box, but that cover has almost no clearance. This means that the dice tend to stay in the same slot, and you don’t have too many games pass before you’re seeing the same letter combinations. It really takes the fun out of the game. Additionally, the cover is easily scuffed up by the white paint on each die, so this version has only a very short shelf life before it becomes even harder to see the letters. Yes, the incorporated timer is nice, but how hard could it have been to include one without ruining the board?
The game itself is a lot of fun, plenty of opportunities for learning to spell in English or other languages, which is why I give it 2 stars. In a competition with classic Boggle, this is a zero-stars product, no question. Possibly it would be ok as a travel game, but not for game night.

|Get the original version instead!,
I loved Boggle as a kid, and was happy that a friend gave my son the game for his birthday. Unfortunately, this ‘new, improved’ version is a far cry from the original. The dice get stuck on top of one another when shaken (very frustrating, time-consuming, and NOT fun), and the interior plastic is so scratched after owning the game for just two weeks, that it is very difficult now to see the letters. Also, because the top of the letter cubes are level with the top of the game, it is impossible to play in a group without everyone leaning over the game, making it difficult for everyone to see it at the same time. The built-in timer is nice, but that’s the only thing it has going for it. Go for the more simple, original version instead. I expect that we will be unable to use this after a few more rounds, due to the scratching.

|Cool version!,
Boggle is a really fun and mind challenging game. Hopefully you’ve played before if you are looking at this. This one is nice because you can’t lose any pieces and it has a BUILT IN timer that beeps when time is up! (Much better than having to watch the hourglass one.) If you want a travel version, I would highly recommend this one over any other. The letters are smaller than the normal version, but still very readable. I highly recommend this one!
