WordWars

Imagine your favorite board and tile-based wordgame and you've got a mediocre start. It's got the full alphabet, naturally, and blank tiles that act as wildcards. Now add two more "blank" tiles: the bomb tile, and the poison tile. They play just like a blank, and can also represent any letter. But when your opponent plays off of a bomb tile, it explodes...and takes any adjacent enemy tiles with it.
