Not a traditional "free to play" game
This game is simple to understand and fun to play. There is definitely strategy involved. The goal isnt to simple make the biggest word, its to make the right words that get you closer to capturing the most of your opponents territory or getting closer to their capital. You can play online with random people or you can play against a friend on the same device.
I dont feel pressured to purchase lives because its simple enough to watch a short advertisement a couple of times, in order to continue playing for free, as Im waiting for people to make their move. That being said, the game offers unlimited lives for 4.99 (US), which I believe to be a fair price for a good game.
Some people are upset about the long time people have to respond to a move. In my experience, it takes people either a couple of minutes to a few hours to respond. If you have multiple games running at the same time that doesnt tend to be a problem.
In my opinion, this game is a gem among free to play word games.
