Scrabble goes hexagonal and then some!

By Lord Gek
The devs have taken the basic concepts of Scrabble and UpWords but then twisted things up by putting it on an hexagonal board and then adding whole new twists by having modes based on dice and cards as opposed to just the straight letters.
Each of the game modes are amazingly configurable.
My only whine so far is that in Hex-n-Spell, once a player or AI has discovered one of the hidden multipliers (the amount and type are customizable) it doesn't stay displayed which ends up giving the AI a huge advantage as it clearly never forgets where those magic multipliers discovered so far are at. The concept of the hidden multipliers also feels a bit exploitable as a player can simply drop tiles all over the board just to scope out their location.
