from 7 Ludoya reviews
A fun variant on the classic Scrabble concept. PROS - It is really easy to explain. - The mechanic of overlaying tiles is really fun and allows for very creative moments. CONS - The board has no special spaces (x2, x3 points) which may be missed if used to play Scrable.
Ianthepez2.5 Considering how much I like scrabble, i don't play this much either.
Tom1.6 Better than Scrabble. But I hate Scrabble. Hence the rating.
