Word Domination 4+

Like many others have commented, this is a fun game. I enjoy playing but have a couple of pet peeves. When boosters are purchased with gems or earned by meeting challenges, there should be a method whereby you were able to buy or pick from a group you do not have. I have been waiting awhile now to get new ones; and even though I only have half of the boosters, the ones I usually draw from the 9 blank ones, or go to purchase from the three choices offered, are the same ones I already have. The other complaint I have about the game is the determination of who starts first. I believe that the player who starts first is at a disadvantage most of the time. When I start first I often lose the game, and vice versa. That would be okay if you only had to go first every other game, but I have often played 6 games in a row, and had to go first on 5 of the 6. Surely this can be fixed in order to alternate. Last thing, I tend to agree with some of the other reviews that some aspects seem fixed. In tournaments, I can get to seven or so wins, and then bam, bam, bam - three losses. If it only happened once or twice I could buy that it was coincidental, but when it happens over and over? I don’t think so. Same thing with the “random” tile selections.
All in all, still a super fun game to play, I just think some tweaks are in order.

I like it. The concept is cool. Quick gameplay for a quick fix. Timed games, so no waiting for days for your next turn. The power up cards are a nice addition to add some interest and strategy. Fun to see what cards other players just used. Might be nice if there were some added text to tell you what card was just played besides just the picture of the card. But you can click on the player’s used card and read the description. Also would be nice to add a true chat feature so you can text in real time with opponents but also keeping the pre-chosen phrases. Would love to see a ranking system to see how you stack up with everyone else too. Maybe the tournament winner gets a special prize along with the coins, like unlimited energy for a period of time?
My little issue is that you’re forced to use energy when playing games unless you’re playing a tournament or with friends. Haven’t figured out how to start a game with a friend on your friends list too. You’re rewarded with coins to buy power-ups when you win, but not rewarded with any extra energy. So basically you’re kind of forced to play with other people if you wanna play for a while. Which is fine but a bit frustrating for me cuz sometimes I just want to play solo with AI and not deplete anything.
But all in all pretty cool twist on the classic word game.

When playing the Sky Tournament, after playing round or two, it credits the round you win, but then also marks as a loss at the same time. It is very frustrating and feels like the app is just ripping people off. You have to buy gems to pay for the tickets to play. This game costs 15 gems for one purple ticket and this game requires two tickets. You have to win 5 games to win the reward and if you lose just 1 time, the game is over. So when you win and at the same time it gets marked as a loss, you lose the game unfairly.
Another downfall of the game is you only get 3 choices for boosters or story tokens to buy. Also, when you get a story bag, there are never any “summer” story tiles in the bags. It just feels like a ripoff.
Lastly, I have also experienced playing my word and then my opponent goes and my word disappears off the board and returns the tiles to my rack. And if that is not bad enough, when the clock ticks down for my opponent, it ticks way past the amount of time I am given to pay my word. It’s not fair something needs to change.
I love this game, but why does it have to be this difficult. I don’t want to play in the tournaments anymore until they fix the problem
