I like games like Scrabble and Bananagrams. I like games where capturing territory is part of the strategy. This is a game that attempts to combine elements of both. I've been playing around with the idea in my head for years and finally found the time recently to try to implement it.

I'm still working on tweaking the rules and trying to find new ways to make the game more interesting, but basically you place words onto a map which is either random, or a world map, or a map of the U.S. etc., and you try to control more of the map than your opponents.
