This is an amazing word game that takes a simple concept and turns it into a much more puzzling and creative experience. The Gubbins add a layer of strategy unlike anything I've ever seen, and it helps hold retention and replayability very well. All Gubbins make the game as fun and dynamic as it could be-- both good and bad ones. The postcard making is a subtle enjoyment, and is a nice finishing touch for when I can only play once a day.

It's a pretty fun game, stylistically interesting, the helpful and harmful gubbins make each game different and challenging. But the lexicon is bonkers. It doesn't recognize "tremorous" as a word, but allows floating suffixes, like "ous". There is no clear indicator of what are legal plays. Some proper names, like Dave, work. Numerous times I've tried putting ed onto a word to make it past tense, it works about 60% of the time. I would love to give this a better rating, but it's so frustrating!!

The recent update is a total mess. I really liked this game despite minimal gameplay guidance so I got the paid version. But, as others have said, scoring is confusing + the dictionary is really inconsistent. Then the updates 🙄 A postcard (unclear what the point is) that you have to opt out of each time you finish a puzzle + a premium ($5) set of gubbins, half of which don't work and just mess up the puzzle board.
