Scrabble3D
Scrabble3D is a highly customizable Scrabble game that not
only supports Classic Scrabble and Superscrabble but also 3D games and
own boards. You can play local against the computer or connect to a
game server to find other players.
Scrabble is a board game with the goal to place letters
crossword like. Up to four players take part and get a limited amount
of letters (usually 7 or 8). Consecutively, each player tries to
compose his letters to one or more word combining with the placed words
on the game array. The value of the move depends on the letters (rare
letter get more points) and bonus fields which multiply the value of a
letter or the whole word. The player with most points win.
This idea is extended with Scrabble3D to the third dimension.
Of
course, a classic game with 15x15 fields or Superscrabble with 21x21
fields can be played and you may configure any field setting by
yourself. The game can be played by the provided freeware program
against Computer, other local players or via internet. Last but not
least it's possible to connect to a game server to find other players
