C&P

'Two to four players, possessing an equal number of tiles and soldiers each,
move around the play area choosing either to take on an opponent in a
word-making match, shuffle troops around, or end their turn and receive one
reinforcement for each occupied tile. For every soldier you take into
battle, you get to use an extra letter from the eight-letter anagram
presented to both players in a time-limited Scrabble tussle.

Defend your territory and you'll take prisoners.
Beat your opponent and you take their tile, with all but one of your
soldiers moving onto it. Beat them with fewer troops than they have in any
given match, and you'll take prisoners. Gameplay gradually evolves into a
strategic game of cat-and-mouse, until individual opponents are fully bested
and an overall victor emerges triumphantly.'


In short it's good get it

Doesn't sound like something I'd by happy tying up the main living room
telly for.

Is there an Android version?

There's an iPhone version. I emailed them earlier asking if/when it'll
be on Android. No reply yet.

I'd definitely be interested in an Android one, but not so much on xbox.
Set the demo to d/l though. Looks good.

And I ended up playing it for quite a while.

It really needs an undo button though. The time pressure is bad enough, but
when you miss-click a letter and your only option is to throw the whole word
away and start again, that's hard to take.

Just working through the domination levels (whatever they're called) on the
islands. Hmm.

Was that the 360 version you tried?
I did not get a chance yesterday to test it out, hopefully this evening.
