This first game in the series contains a wide range of puzzles to please anyone who enjoys brainteasers. There are 20 games in all. Marble Jump is similar to the board game Hi-Q, and Series as well as World Series both require players to determine patterns and continue a series of numbers, letters, or words. Boggle provides another great exercise in language arts. It involves searching for words in a scrambled grid of letters within a given time frame.
Players try to find as many words as they can as they race against the clock.
The variations are wild, multiplayer options are available, and Classic Boggle is a faithful translation of the board game to the computer. However, note that playing against a human opponent at the same computer is very flawed, due to the nature of the game itself. Players would have to be blindfolded to play this game properly. Playing against human opponents over the Internet is a great experience. Solitary gameplay, however, is addictive, and the difficulty levels of the computer opponent can be selected so that kids as well as adults can be sufficiently challenged by the game.
