iOS word game Quarrel Deluxe hits the App Store, plays like Scrabble meets Risk

Quarrel Deluxe is a brand new Universal iPhone and iPad word game that requires, in the words of developer Indiagames, "a cool combination of word power and strategic cunning to crush your opponents".

In the words of Pocket Gamer's Mark Brown, it's "Scrabble meets Risk".

Your job is to deploy troops, capture territories, and rule islands by constructing high-scoring words.

You do this over four different modes of play - Quick Match, Make Match, Domination, and Daily Challenge - against nine different opponents, each with their own distinctive skills.

You can tweet your amusing creations, share your progress through Facebook, and grab yourself over 36 Game Center achievements.

If you fancy destroying some enemies and increasing the size of your cranium, you can grab Quarrel Deluxe from the App Store for £2.99/$4.99.

Or, you can grab a free trial version of the game, which allows you to get your hands on the full experience through in-app purchase.
