Dabble® Word Game | Fast-Paced Family Board Game | Enhances Spelling and Vocabulary for All Ages | Spell The First Five Words | Award-Winning and Educational Learning Game | Great Game for All Ages

I bought this game to help my tween girls build their vocabulary without them feeling like it was "work". We love playing this game as a family! They have so much fun and beg to play.

I gave this game to my young adult daughter and we played it many times over the Christmas holidays. Lots of fun - we love board games and word games especially, and this was a hit! Easy to learn. Ages 20 - 80+ enjoyed!

We love to play this game with house rules--we don't accept proper nouns like names or acronyms, and the word has to be in a real dictionary (sorry UrbanDictionary, you don't count!). The best aspect of this game is that once you are done you can wander around and help others with their words. There's chatter about the validity of words, there are side conversations about strategy, there are compliments on the words people come up with--the game really gets people talking. It works with my 90 yr old family members as well as my teenagers. We don't keep score so there are no tears or arguments like with other games (Monopoly). Also it helps bolster your kid's vocabulary. All around it is a wonderful game.

Very simple to put together and durable. Students are enjoying it. We are just putting words together right now…not really playing by the rules yet or using the timer. They are keeping their scores. It’s a hit!

Tons of fun, very different take on word games

If you enjoy a challenging game of strategy, you'll love this game. Me and my girlfriends have Game Day every other week and often play this game.

Love this game. Sometimes you want to play a word game but don't want to spend hours agonizing over words like with Scrabble. In comes Dabble. Each round averages about 10 minutes. Super fun. It may be a little hard for kids that don't have a huge vocabulary. The point of the game is to build one 2, 3,4,5 and 6 letter word out of the tiles you get. It goes quickly. I have not played it with kids and again, would imagine it a bit challenging with the five and six letter words. Other than that, really fun game and glad I purchased it.

I love word games. The concept of this game is what prompted me to buy. The execution of this game has prompted me to give this honest review.Game Pieces: The game pieces are very cheap. The stands are very difficult to put together and take apart. The piece that slides into the platform to make it stand upright seems to be too big for the slot. Unfortunately, you can't use the tile platform with out the stand piece and you can't store the platform in the game box with the stand attached. I'm going to try to sand it down for a easier fit, hope it works. The letter tiles are see through. The game play includes placing all the tiles face down on the table and drawing random tiles. Unfortunately, with them being see through, the drawing process is not so random. Had they provided a grab bag this would have eliminated this problem. I am planing to make or purchase a grab bag. I was pleasantly surprised to find additional tiles for Spanish play. Bonus points to whoever made that decision.Game Play: It is a fun game to play, however, I don't think the timer gives you enough time to do anything. Perhaps after playing this many times you can focus on timed play but as beginners it didn't allow for much game playing to take place. We altered the game to exclude the timer. The first person to get all five words ends the round and gets a bonus. All the other players must stop at that point and everyone counts up their tile points. No score card was provided so we just played single rounds rather than adding up all the points from the multiple rounds.Despite all the flaws we will still play this game, however, if I were to do it again, I would not purchase this game for more than $15. You can basically play this game using your own scrabble tiles. If the manufacturer fixes the issues I listed above, then you'd have a decent game worth the $25 they're selling it for.
