Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

You can play it as a single player or with friends. When playing in company, at the start you take the role of the GameMaster or join the game. In one game there can be up to 8 players. In each round of the game you type a word that starts with a selected letter in each of 5 categories. Categories can be ramdomly selected by the game or they can be selected or created by the player. The GameMaster can select letters or let the game do it. The GameMaster waits for the players to connect, starts the game and takes part in it along with the players. At the end of a round the GameMaster recieves and checks other players' answers. If a word is not in the game's vocabulary (for standard categories) it is struck out, but the GameMaster can add the word to the vocabulary. A player joins the game set up by the GameMaster. Players get in touch with the GameMaster by Bluetooth. You can play the game offline, without an Internet connection. The player that gets most correct and unique words by the end of last round is the winner!
