Is Boggle Ultimate played widely? It's consuming a large amount of space in the article, and I'd like reassurance that it's played outside Oregon. Ventura 16:30, 2004 Aug 4 (UTC)
- I've never heard of "Boggle Ultimate", but it is mildly interesting and I vote to keep the description of the rules. I'm less interested in the strategy section, because it doesn't give me any useful information about how to decide when to turn over the timer. Personally, I expect that the quicker player would always turn over the timer immediately. When I played with my sister in high school, our standard Boggle timer was broken, so we used timers borrowed from other games. When we used a timer of 2.5 minutes I won nearly every game, and when we used a timer of 3.5 minutes she won nearly every game. I was quicker but her vocabulary was larger. Therefore, if I played "Boggle Ultimate" against my sister, I would immediately turn over the timer on every game, and it would be no different than regular Boggle. Yawn. Maybe the whole section can be compressed to two sentences. --Fritzlein 18:38, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)
I've removed the Boggle Ultimate section. Unless there is verification that this variant is well known, it should not be reinstated. Peter O. (Talk, automation script) 00:29, Jan 1, 2005 (UTC)
