Are you the wisest word gamer around?
Double Quotes is a competitive social word game that allows you to double up tiles on a 12×12 board grid. Immerse yourself in words of wisdom and play quote-words for double the score.
Do you love tile-based word games but are tired of:
• games that go on forever? Also known as the curse of the bottomless tile bag…
• your opponents figuring out their next move by randomly attempting every crazy word combination until they get one to fit?
• Playing a really great word only to receive a feeble little score in reward?
then Double Quotes is the game for you!
FEATURES:
★ Double up tiles for double the possibilities. You get the last laugh when you can turn QUIRK into SMIRK.
★ Leaderboards to prove once and for all who is the baddest worder on the block.
★ Wise quotes that when played, double your word score. So you’re not simply grinding your friend’s ego to dust… you’re getting wiser whilst grinding your friend’s ego to dust.
★ Crazy bonuses. You are never out of the game when one word play can rack up a total of 12x word bonus.
★ It’s Zen. And yes, Zen is totally a feature. Zen means all that useless, wobbly, fluffy stuff is absent. It’s just you, the board, and the present moment. It’s pure coincidence that the present moment just happens to be all about winning with extreme prejudice!
★ And then there’s the technical stuff. Like it allows you to play up to 30 games simultaneously; lets you send messages to your opponents and tweet your victories. It even has an email feedback button to let you protest the inbuilt dictionary’s spelling.
In-App purchase
Initially, you begin each game at -20 points. Purchase “parity” and your next game begins at 0. Double Quotes has no ads and no nag screens.
RULES:
1. Double Quotes is a social game. It requires a (free) Game Center account and an internet connection to play.
2. Tile letters are drawn from the quote being played, quote author inclusive. If a letter is not in the quote, it won’t be in the tile bag.
3. There are 70 tiles in total.
4. Play begins by forming a valid word that covers at least one of the center 4 squares on the board. These 4 squares each give a 2L bonus.
5. All words in the current quote are playable, including quote author name.
6. Subsequent words must either: adjoin an existing word or overlay one of the center 4 squares.
7. You may play a tile directly on top of another tile – but only if you or your opponent have not already “doubled” this particular tile.
8. You are not allowed to double a tile of the same letter.
9. A misspell forfeits your turn.
10. There are 2 blanks. Each player always begins the game with a blank. Blanks are worth the equivalent score of the letter they are transformed into.
11. If there are sufficient tiles in the tile bag, you may swap tiles once per game. You cannot swap a blank. Swapping forfeits your turn.
12. You may pass by playing no tiles. Your highest value tile will be removed from your rack, and its value deducted from your score.
13. Word score bonuses are multiplicative. If your word overlies both 2W and 3W squares, you will receive 6W bonus.
14. Play all the tiles in your rack in a given move for a 50 point bonus.
15. Playing a word in the quote (of 2 letters or more) doubles your move score. This doubling is calculated after all other bonuses, including the play-all-tiles bonus.
16. The game ends when a player has no tiles. Any tiles left on the opponent’s rack are deducted from the opponent’s score.
