The old IRC game, Acrophobia made use of a similar core mechanism: Generate a random string of letters, which the players regard as if it were an acronym. Each player must then create an "expansion" for that acronym. For example: BGGIA could inspire Board Game Geek Is Addictive, or Boring Guys Generally Inspire Aldie. Players then vote for their favorite, and rewards are granted accordingly.

In Acronymble, the reward comes in the form of movement along a traditional roll-and-move type of path, complete with "move ahead" and "move back" spaces; however some of the spaces also impose restrictions on the players thereupon, such as requiring their expansion to be a grammatical sentence.

From the box:
