Oski for iPad is the thoughtful person's word game, with a lot of twists
Oski is a word game for the slow thinker. Not for the dimwitted, that's not what I mean, but for the word game player who likes to think – a lot – about her options and to and really plan out the next move. With no randomness and no hidden information, this is a game that invites analysis paralysis. With only 16 moves in each game (8 per player) it's the player who makes the most of each move who will win. Let's get one thing out of the way right at the start: Oski can be played with a pen and paper. Also, the app is not anything close to the most polished program on the App Store. Still, it's a fun little game – especially when played against another person and not the iPad – and so I think it's worth the US$0.99 download (Version 1.4 reviewed here). Read on for my reasons why. %Gallery-108430%
