Scrabble may be universally loved, but it hasn't really offered anything new to spice up crossword formula since the game debuted in 1938. That's more than 70 years with nary a tweak to the rule book. Previous releases like 2006's Scrabble Deluxe have done a tremendous job of perfecting Scrabble's board game to video game transition, so what's left to tackle? If you're behind the recently release Scrabble Plus, the answer is "a lot."
Macgamestore.com today announced the release of Scrabble Plus, the new edition of America's favorite word game, for the Macintosh. Created by Gamehouse, SCRABBLE PLUS for Mac gives you the classic word-building of SCRABBLE - plus head-to-head dual board play, strategic maneuvers, arcade-style gameplay, and new game themes.
Play the way you remember with the original, all-time fan favorite SCRABBLE crossword game, plus three fun new themes: SCRABBLE Golf, where you try to reach the green with the longest words; SCRABBLE Battle, where you can take on a challenging opponent and try to control the most territories; and SCRABBLE Wizard where you put your lexical skills to the test in three extra-challenging versions, including the tournament favorite Clabbers. Each new game theme includes two or three imaginative variations for a total of eight ways to play.
With exciting head-to-head dual board action, helpful hints, unique power-ups, challenging computer opponents, stunning graphics, and inviting arcade play, both veteran and beginner players will find something to love about SCRABBLE PLUS for Mac.
