Don't worry, Timo, it came up just fine on my end! Aside from beating VentureJ and InvaderREN pretty handily, I lost FOUR matches last night, all 13-12.
Yes, I agree. I cannot seem to turn a loosing game. I guess that's the idea?
You get snowballed under letter dis-advantage.
It *is* a quick play game after all, so all good
I actually disagree. Unless an opponent is playing perfectly and locking up most of the board, you can just keep on hanging in there, and eventually, your opponent can stall. If someone plays 10 awesome words in a row, and you hang on, and they then run out of awesome 6+ letter words, you have an opportunity to take the lead in just 2 turns.
About the game length, you should see the game between Scott and I right now. He's about to finish me off, but I've been holding off forever against the slowly encroaching great wall of Rubin.
Priority 1: Write the biggest word you can using as many red letters as possible. Priority 2: Shield as many letters as possible. Priority 3: If you can make a move that ends the game with you winning, make that move.
And to second Timo, we should get some organized play going. The Carcassonne one a few months back was a lot of fun. Maybe start something up early next week? Shout here if you want in.

Anyway great game, more people shoudl get it, also we should revive the FRCF championships since the game currently has no internal ranking tracking.

Also, Timo, why does our board only have one A? I keep trying to spell Shwarma
You got lucky.
