This multi-player word game is one of my favourites. My close friend and ex-flat mate, R and I used to completely freak over it, and it was a daily night-time ritual once we had said our good-nights to our respective girlfriends.
Anyway, I was recently told by a fresh MBA passout that the game is quite the rage in campuses now. I’m not surprised. Here’s why I think Multi-Eight is one of the best online word games:
- It’s a forum for serious word gamers – no social chatting, no “ASL?” or “gg” after every round
- Neat clean, uncluttered, ad-free gaming interface
- Anonymity – the only thing that matters is your username which you can change
- Intensely competitive with multiple game rooms to suit your expertise level. Some great regular players who really up the ante.
- Ups and downs – Ten rounds of fast paced action. You screw up in one round and you will probably lose overall cumulative standings that you might never catch up; At the same time some rounds where you beat the field by a big margin might just become the overall game-changers. Not dips in concentration tolerated here.
R and I have since relocated to different cities. But when we do land up in the same city, the game is once again renewed. We’ve also introduced many of our friends and colleagues to the game, for some of whom it’s become a distraction to work :)
Cheers to Multieight and eastoftheweb. Great stuff!
