Big Boggle

Shake the letter cubes, turn the hourglass over and off you go. In Big Boggle you stare at a grid full of letters, and the trick is to find as many words as possible before time runs out. You may string together letters that lie next to each other, criss-crossing all over the board. Whoever spots the longest word that nobody else had scores the most points. The big grid makes this game just a bit tougher than you are used to. You play with 25 cubes instead of 16, and every word has to be at least four letters long. That keeps you searching longer, and surprising words keep popping up that you would never have thought of yourself. A round takes only ten minutes, so before you know it you are on to the next one. Fun with two players, but just as enjoyable with a big group around the table. Expect laughter, indignation when someone had the same word, and that tingling feeling when the hourglass is almost empty.
