The board consists in a base board of 36 cells made by four zones of 3 by 3 cells each and can be extended by additional segments of 9 cells each.
Cells may have a multiplier value. Thus, cells with a label of 2 or 3 cause the value of the character placed over it to be multiplied by 2 or 3 If a cell is labelled D or T the score of a the whole word that uses that cell is doubled or tripled. This is done after having computed the scores of individual characters. There are 231 tokens each with a character and a score. There is a score pad to keep track of points, and lengths of words.
First players chose an equal number of segments until a total number of 60 (or as near to 60 as possible) is chosen. These will be made available to players. The game consists in placing words in the board. The first player selects up to 5 tokens and forms a word that he places anywhere in the base board. The resulting score is computed. If any of the characters is at a border, the player must chose one of the additional segments and placed it aligned in the zone (see note below). The next player in turn selects up to as many tokens as the longest word formed so far and places a word so that at least one character of the existing words is used in it and forms a word as did the previous player, and so on. The game ends when either:
9 or less different tokens to be played are left.
2 or less different vowels tokens to be played are left.
A player runs out of additional segments when one is required.The player with most points wins. Note: Align in the zone means that all borders have to be of length 3 or multiple of three. Comming soon:
1. Two new "Ax-like" games, with similar logic. Will be available both in Hard and Online Versions
2. A chess-like game featuring continuous board. Soon available in Online version.
