I wrote before about Scrabulous being dead and reborn. It ended up being mostly dead. Hasbro at their lunch and put them down, or so the world thought.
Rajat & Jayant Agarwalla are back in the game, more exactly, back in the word game business. They’ve brought us the new game, Lexulous.
Lexulous is a tile based game, much like Scrabulous was. Scoring is still based on tile values and positional bonuses. Play proceeds pretty much the same as well, with turns between the players.
So what’s different? Honestly it’s about the values. The game board is a different layout than the original style. Additionally the squares offer different bonus levels that before. To add another change, the tiles also have different values than before.
All in all these changes result in a different game, but one that reminds you at every turn of classic Scrabble. Heck, here’s the board.
So there you have it, Rajat & Jayant Agarwalla have brought us back a classic word game with a different face. They’ve hopefully done enough with changing up features, and adding some Facebook friendly play enablers that the fans will come back.
Cheers to you brothers Agarwalla!
