Very cool! I've always loved Scrabble but disliked the (in hindsight) unbalanced letter scores and frequencies. This gives the game a new twist and a lot of room for creativity. I also like the massive scoring bonuses - it reminds me of the racing game TrackMania, where cars drive around ridiculous, physics-defying loops and such. It's a classic concept, but amped up to a new fun level.

One question: Are the bots marked somehow? I played a few games, but was a little bummed when I realized that my opponents were playing instantly and not responding to any of my messages.



Thanks!

There is only one bot right now: Lux, and no, he doesn't talk much. Everyone else is a real person.


Lux is now marked with (bot) in the select box.
