Challenging and Rewarding

This is the first time in awhile I have been challenged by a word game beyond just using ridiculous words.

While the dictionary the game uses is large, players are rewarded for forward thinking and strategy (like chess) rather than obscure word trivia knowledge!

I would recommend thus game to anyone looking for a fun challenge.

Intuitive and Deep

An amazing creation. On the surface, similar to Scrabble— but no numbers, calculation, or scores. Yet it has great depths that I am still plumbing after two years. Highest recommendation.

Cross between scrabble and chess

Once you understand the rules (there is a helpful tutorial) there is no comparison between this and regular scrabble which pales by comparison. Engages you on multiple levels and keeps you there. My only frustration is that this is not yet widely enough adopted to provide a rich pool of regular players. This game should be way more famous than it is.

Great game, but ...

They took away features to make the app pay. That’s fine. However, now they have put in 30 second ads every third move or so (Tapjoy). Makes the game unpleasant and annoying to play. I can not recommend it now.

Where’s the support?

I love this game. After about six months I bought myself a VIP account.
But...
I got a new iPad and I cannot login with my VIP account. I have looked and looked for a way to request support but can’t find help on the developer website or in the app or the App Store. Very frustrating!
