Played Wordscraper yet?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
It’s been several days now since Rajat and Jayant Agarwalla launched the word game Wordscraper game on Facebook and we want to hear from players.
By releasing a game with revised rules and others changes (such as circular, not square, tiles) the Agarwallas hope to avoid costly legal claims and trademark issues with Hasbro, which owns the North American rights to Scrabble. The brothers created the hugely popular Scrabble knockoff game, Scrabulous.
As explained on its Facebook space, with Wordscraper players can build their own boards and use combinations with high value squares. Reaction is generally favorable, although players have suggested a number of changes on Wordscraper discussion boards. For instance, smiley faces to take the place of blank tiles, which Wordscraper doesn’t use (for obvious reasons).
Have you played Wordscraper yet? What do you think of the changes? In a word…
