Excellent game, fun, challenging and lovingly created with an historical aesthetic. You can play online with other humans [edit: this has stopped working] or against the computer, both modes are good. Only thing that is odd is some words are not allowed which I know are real words, and there is no way to suggest a word get added to the dictionary, that would be a nice feature.

I really, really adore this board game and its mechanics and gameplay. Unfortunately the app suffers from multiple bugs, typos and a poor AI system. Worse than those things though is the bizarre dictionary. Otherwise obvious words to English speakers aren't counted in favor of three different spellings of a form of Hindu ghost (true story). Maybe the developer ran out of funds to continue improvements, who knows? Oh, sometimes the game will also be completely unavailable online. So that's fun.

Great version of a great game, with only one small caveat keeping it from a perfect score in digital form. Both Paperback and Hardback A.I. use words that are not allowed by the human players. Proper nouns are the biggest problems. It accepts it for them, but not the player. My wife and I have even tried using words that we saw the computer use and get scored, and we are not allowed. Other than that, both of these games are absolutely fantastic, especially for multiplayer with other humans!
