Like Bejeweled Blitz, I had experience playing this game prior to this July's hobby. I had been playing it with a couple of friends, so once the month started I just continued as I had previously.
I have mixed feelings about this game. I liked it because it required a lot of critical thinking and is based upon a highly thought after board game, but at the same time, it opens itself up to cheating and using the system. What do I mean by using the system? I mean if you can keep trying different combinations until you find a word it accepts. Also, your not playing face to face with someone, so you can go to a website like this one and become Shakespeare without lifting a finger.
When your doing well, your proud of yourself for being so smart, but when your doing poorly, you either think the game is after you, or your opponent is obviously cheating. A good bit of the game is luck however. Being able to get that "s" to extend a word while making a new one or pop that "q" on a triple word score and blow your opponents mind.
This game does not utilize social networks for anything other than finding players. Once the game is started however, its just between you and your opponent. I noticed that as time goes on, I'm getting tired of playing the game. Not necessarily because of loosing, but because I don't really feel like playing scrabble every day, I just don't; and based upon the involvement from my friends in the last week of the month, I think they feel the same way too.
Solid game, easy, but I think the next time I play scrabble, I would prefer to play it on a game board without the Internet and other methods of enhancing your game.
