Played a lot last night. Won some games, some lost games, many are still ongoing.


Sometimes the board gets silly.

It’s a great game, this, it really is. It would be nice if it wasn’t so buggy, though. I’ve had tiles stuck in their “move across board” animation and they’ve then appeared on every game board until I’ve restated the game. I once had tiles in my rack appear on top of each other and be unplayable – I could drag some of the tiles to empty spots on my rack, but not play them. That bug lasted through restarts and I eventually had to pass my turn to get past it. There’s also a very common bug where it often won’t apply a double word score to your move on the first turn if you place your word on a DW space. (Unlike Scrabble, the first word isn’t automatically doubled.) Also, sometimes you get a 35-point bonus for using all your tiles and sometimes you don’t.

The bugs can make a difference to the outcome of the game, so they really need to be fixed as soon as possible. It’s a testament to the overall quality of the game that the rampant buginess hasn’t put people off playing.
