Spent time playing word puzzle games? Feel it is time for a change? Well meet Wordious… The new word puzzle game with an element of surprise. Wordious is like nothing you have ever seen before, what will happen when you need to place your letters on a gameboard that is made up by tiles, tiles that you and your opponents take turns placing.
Wordious is a family game with classic board game elements.
Each player draws seven letter tiles. Then the board tiles are divided among the players.
At the beginning of a player's turn, they can choose to place a board tile. Each board tile is printed double-sided. If a player decided to place a board tile, they have to play a word on that tile and link it to a word on.
After the player has placed a word, they draw as many letters as played.
The game ends when a player has no letters left or everyone passes.
Every unplayed board tile is worth 15 points at the end of the game. Unplayed letters are penalized.
This game is like a modular Scrabble game.
