Hi Everyone!
I'd like to tell you a little bit about the MOXIE game.
First of all, it's a word game that's DIFFERENT from anything else you'll
find on the iPhone App Store, and that's by design. We were tired of seeing the
same word game themes recycled over and over again...anagrams, Boggle, word
finds, and stuff like that. We wanted to make something truly unique, and I
think we've succeeded.
Here are some qualities that I think make Moxie truly special:
* NO PRESSURE. Moxie is not a
race. There's no clock. You can go as fast or as slow as you like.
* QUICK TO PLAY. The average
game of Moxie takes less than 5 minutes.
* QUICK TO LEARN. Moxie only has
a few simple rules, and we've even included a short video to show you how to
play.
* ERGONOMIC. Are you tired
of tiny little hard-to-press buttons and screens you can hardly read? The Moxie
board is simple, clear, and direct...and you can actually see the buttons
without your bifocals.
* REWARDS STRATEGIC THINKING. You don't need
a vocabulary the size Webster's dictionary to score well. Sure, it helps to
know a lot of words, but good old-fashioned strategy will get you a lot
farther.
* WHOLESOME. That's
right Moxie is just good clean fun. There's no crashing into anything and no
killing anything. Why even your Mom will enjoy playing Moxie. I know mine does.
In fact she helped invent the game!
Moxie is the word game guaranteed to please. Play once game and you'll be
hooked. If you're good maybe you'll even get the high score.
How
to play Moxie:
You start with a hand of 52 letters that you go through
"Solitaire" style. Place each letter on the board or
"Pass". If you "Pass" you can't go back to that letter.
You
score points by:
1. Making unique words with the
letters
2. Transforming your words into
other words by adding and replacing letters. For example: "TIN"
becomes "TINE" which becomes "TILE" which becomes
"TILED" and so on.
3. Spelling special "Moxie
words" for bonus points
Once you spell a word and start transforming it into other words, don't
break the word chain! That's a "Twaddle" and you'll lose points.
There's no time limit and while it helps to know a lot of words, Moxie
will more greatly reward those who like to think strategically.
