WordChain (Ludum Dare 46)

Created for Ludum Dare 46 - Keep it alive

I enjoy playing letter tile games but due to a bit of a competitive streak among my friends every board inevitably ends up becoming a snarled web with every additional point a hard fought mess. WordChain instead strives to be a relaxed experience where the only goal is to keep the chain going to the next word.

Instructions:
1) Place tiles vertically or horizontally to form words, connecting to previously played words.
2) You will receive one point every time you successfully place a word.
3) You will draw one less tile than the number you placed, and one extra for every word formed above the first.
4) Unused tiles clear the board every round.
5) There are special tiles to draw +1, draw +2, or swap all tiles. Play on them to activate.
6) In any word placement there must be at least one brand new word.
7) Choose 'Give Up' when you feel you can no longer keep your streak alive.

That's it! Please enjoy.
