Boggle is a timed word game in which players have 3 minutes to find as many connected words as possible from the face up letters resting in a 16 cube grid. When the timer runs out, players compare their lists of words and remove any words found by multiple players. Points are then awarded for remaining words, depending on how many letters are in the word. When first published by Parker Brothers in 1972, players were required to setup all 16 letter cubes in a tray, cover the tray, and then flip the tray and remove the cover to reveal the letter cubes. In 1976, Boggle was redesigned to include the now iconic translucent dome. This allowed the players to shake up the letter cubes before each game began, making the setup of the game as exciting as the gameplay itself. Bookshelf case measures 10.63 x 8.50 x 2.63 inches and weighs 1.75 pounds with all game components stored inside. Officially Licensed by Hasbro. NWT
