Upwords Reviews

Upword in my opinion is a very similar game to scrabble in the fact that you create words from lettered tiles you have and using letters already on the board but this is a 3d version. Having said this i wouldnt recomend this for the expert scrabbler like my dad as it is a lot more basic in the scoring system and requires a lot less ...  Read the complete review

To me, it feels like this game could have been made just a little better. I love the idea of stacking tiles on top of one another - it brings a new dimension to the classic Scrabble format. But this game differs from Scrabble in so many ways it can be frustrating. I should also say that the game never claims to BE Scrabble in 3D, I'm just drawing ...  Read the complete review

If you've ever played Scrabble you have probably come across a situation whereby you can't find a word to put on the board but if only you could put one of your letters on top of a word that is aleady on the down, you could create a great word...well, in Upwords this is exactly what you can do! The game board and game play is very ...  Read the complete review

For anyone who likes word games this is an interesting twist on some classics. The idea of upwords like many word games is to score the highest points. Points are counted by the number of tiles on or under the word (the balance is between getting a word on the flat (double points) and counting a stack (to a max of 5 per ...  Read the complete review

I have always enjoyed reading and spend most of the time not spent here with my head in a book. As a result, I have always enjoyed playing word games. From a very early age, I was introduced to Scrabble. My parents believed in getting me used to words as early as possible. When I got a bit older, I spent more and more time reading and the ...  Read the complete review

Upwords is scrabble with a pretty damn cool twist - You can play in 3D. I was introduced to this game last year by my girlfriend and have enjoyed playing it ever since (especially when I win). It works like so: Every player (up to four) has seven letters to start and the person who reckons they can build the longest word goes first. ...  Read the complete review

Scrabble is a great game but 'Upwords' is in a league of its own. A simple word game taken a step further and yet still remains really simple and great fun. The idea is the same as with Scrabble. Each of the players (as many as 4) has 7 letter counters and has to place a word on the board in the same manor as Scrabble. But ...  Read the complete review
