* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * A competitive puzzle game is a multiplayer game in which the main activity is solving a series of separate puzzles. (I should probably call these multiplayer puzzle games, to include cooperative multiplayer puzzle games.) Examples include television game shows like Jeopardy!, and board games like Boggle, both of which have been adapted to the computer medium. Although each move in a game of chess is a bit like a puzzle, chess does not qualify as a competitive puzzle game because each move affects subsequent moves. Chess is more about long term strategy than solving a puzzle on each move. While there are chess puzzles, they do not generally appeal to chess players. Scrabble almost qualifies as a competitive puzzle game. Each move in a game of Scrabble is like solving a separate word puzzle. But strategy does play a role – sometimes it is better to not play the best word on one turn in order to save tiles for the next turn. * The key issue in designing a competitive puzzle game is how players keep score in order to determine who wins. The simplest method is for each player to have an accumulated score. In Jeopardy!, the score is the amount of money that player has won. In board games, a player’s standing is often measured by the progress of a token around a board. In the card game set, players race to see who can solve a puzzle first. In Battleship, players take turns solving puzzles created by the other player. Finally, the scoring system in Boggle depends on all the other players – you score points for a word only if no other player found it. * There are three main versions of Boggle online. Although the basic gameplay is the same, there are many interesting differences that create distinctly different experiences. 1. Boggle. The original game is owned by Hasbro, which has an online version at . The rules are faithful to the original game, with a 4x4 or 5x5 grid of letters and a limit of 3 minutes per round. Up
