aggieamy Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 (edited) This question is based on a discussion I had with DH. I'll explain why in a bit. Edited December 28, 2009 by aggieamy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ereks mom Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 One of the kids' cousins got Boggle for Christmas a couple of years ago, and we played it some since then with them, but none of us thought it was much fun. No one has asked for it. We own Boggle Jr. Letters (there is also a Boggle Jr. Numbers) and we used it some as a learning game when our kids were beginning to read.

Julie Herbster Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 We LOVE Boggle at our house. We should have gotten a new game for Christmas, as our 4yo (who loves Boggle in a different way) has lost two of the letter cubes. I heard there's a new, digitized version for sale now. (Is that what the OP was asking about?) I don't think I'd buy the digitized version; IMO, nothing could replace the feelings of anticipation (and the countless memories) that wash over me at the sound and feel of the cubes being rattled into their places, and the dark lid being lifted to reveal a new board. Also, the hourglass timer is irreplaceable, since it engenders so much lively dispute about when the time really did run out. This is an indispensable part of all family Boggle games.

Kim in TN Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 We love Boggle! Dd was wanting the new quiet version, but I didn't buy it. I think the lid is made with something to make it quieter when shaking it. Julie, have you played Super Boggle? I bought it for my mom last Christmas. It has a bigger grid. Fun! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newlifemom Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Well I need a new super boggle b/c my letters are fading and the permanent marker wears off, but I didn't ask for it. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amydavis Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 We needed a new Boggle for Christmas, but I neglected to pick one up or put it on any wish lists for grandma. My oldest son has autism, and loves to "flap" small things (usually coins)...well, suffice it to say he got hold of our Boggle letters sometime last year, and we never could find two of them... So, I think I've heard of a Boggle where the letters don't come out... That would be a good thing for this family! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the one that doesn't come out and I'll never get to play it because NOBODY in my family liked it and will play with me. Rather than having it sit around I'd like to give it to someone that will enjoy it. Would you be interested? It's not new in the box but it looks new because we've only played it maybe three times.

amydavis Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Wow! Thanks! I just saw this post and I just can't believe how nice and generous you are! Thanks again! I'll send you a message. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Jenny Flint Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 this is the nicest thing I have seen someone do for someone else in a while. I just got a nice, warm-fuzzy feeling. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That explains it. :001_smile: We have Boggle but don't play it much. I like it, dh not so much because I always win. We do occasionally play Word Racer at Yahoo games...very much like Boggle, but on the computer, and in the course of play there's a couple of different layouts with bonus letters. I still win ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Jessica* Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 What a nice thing to do! We have Boggle but don't play it much. I like it, dh not so much because I always win.

I still win ;) We have a game called Backwards that nobody can ever beat me at, so I never get to play. :sad: I refuse to get rid of it since it's one of my favorite games. I'm hoping that at least one of the boys will like it when they get a bit older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggieamy Posted December 29, 2009 Author Share Posted December 29, 2009 That explains it. :001_smile: Yep. I knew there had to be someone out there that wanted one and didn't get one but I didn't want to post until I found them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amydavis Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 this is the nicest thing I have seen someone do for someone else in a while. I just got a nice, warm-fuzzy feeling. Thanks. :iagree: I know! I'm still just feeling so warm and fuzzy from it! I can't tell you how sweet I think that is! I can't wait for dh to get home from work, so I can share another wonderful example of just how great the people are here at the hive! :001_wub: I just don't even know what to say, besides thank you.

amydavis Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I was out this morning, and when I returned I had a surprise waiting for me! I love getting packages! So, I just wanted to let Amy know that the Boggle game made it here safe and sound! Ds9 was excited, and so I am certain we will be playing this tonight! Thanks again! You're the sweetest! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
