Square-Go is reporting that developer Denki has announced Quarrel for Xbox Live Arcade, which they describe as a mix of Scrabble, Risk, and the game show Countdown.
Essentially it’s a game of territory control (that’s the Risk(y) business), and battles are fought via a round of Countdown, with the letters having Scrabble like scores, and so whoever makes the highest scoring word – wins! Simple. Throw in some tactics – the number of letters you can use depends on how many ‘child soldiers’ (or Quarrellers, as is the official line) you have at your disposal. Which in turn actually makes for a compelling game – who wouldn’t want to best an opponent with superior locution and tact. But what’s great is that Quarrel is simple enough for anyone, of any age, to get to grips with.
No release date yet for the video boardgame.
