Posted 11/18/2011 at 5:04am | by Jeffrey Matulef The old proverb about the pen being mightier than the sword has never been truer than in Quarrel Deluxe, a word game about world domination. Taking a cue from Risk, Quarrel tasks players with overtaking a board, pitting you against one to three AI opponents, each with a set number of troops on different tiles. Territory is captured through a series of "quarrels," or word battles where you must form words out of eight letter anagrams with specific point values attributed to each letter. However many troops you have dictates how many letters you're allowed to use, and whoever forms the highest scoring word wins the battle. Initially it can feel unfair when your meager two man unit faces a squad of eight, rendering your anagram skills useless. That's where the strategy comes into play, and figuring out how to divvy up your Read More

Word games are some of the earliest and most venerated titles on the App Store, and still developers continue to find ways to refine and revitalize the genre. The popularity of Words With Friends and the resurgence of updated standards like Wurdle demonstrate clearly that there’s life in the old girl yet. Genre mash-ups are another energizer; from PopCap’s Bookworm Adventures on PC to the upcoming Word Fighter on iOS, sprinkling in just a few new letters can make the difference between snore and adore. In the case of Quarrel Deluxe [$4.99/Lite], the twist comes in the form of strategic gameplay. A fresh and fun take on the Scrabble formula, the game sports bright visuals, intuitive mechanics, and a crunchy outer layer of macro objectives that gives the sweet casual core longevity and depth. Think of it as an adorable war of the words. At its most fundamental, Quarrel Deluxe is Read More
