Tic-Tac-Ku

Tic Tac Ku is played on a game board which is a 3 x 3 grid of Tic-Tac-Toe boards. In the simple game, the object is to get a Tic-Tac-Toe on any of the 9 boards. In the advanced game, the object is to get 5 Tic-Tac-Toes.

Codenames

Two rival spymasters know the secret identities of 25 agents. Their teammates know the agents only by their CODENAMES.

In Codenames, two teams compete to see who can make contact with all of their agents first. Spymasters give one-word clues that can point to multiple words on the board. Their teammates try to guess words of the right color while avoiding those that belong to the opposing team. And everyone wants to avoid the assassin.

Codenames: Win or lose, it's fun to figure out the clues.

Stomple

This is a strategic marble stomping game.
Outwit your opponents by stomping their marbles before they stomp yours!
Outmaneuver by leaving their "stomper" trapped with no escape. OUTSTOMP the competition and you win!
Each player has a "stomper" piece with a marble of a different color attached to the top. On a player's turn, he or she may stomp any marble (by putting it on top of it, knocking it underneath the board), not in the outside ring. On the following turn, the player can stomp any adjacent marbles of the same color, or stomp a marble matching the color of his/her "stomper" piece.

Boggle

'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. (In the original Boggle, all words must contain 3 or more letters to score points.)

An example grid given in the French Canadian rules (of Deluxe Boggle) holds an amazing 459 words!

A number of variants have been produced by Parker Brothers over time, including Big Boggle (which uses a 5×5 grid of letters and forces players to search for longer words).

Boggle is a word dice game.
