JANOLITH

Word-building roguelite

JANOLITH is a PC word-building roguelite played on an open board. Each stone has a letter on both its front and back. You place stones to make words, choosing which side faces up, then flip stones already on the board to change their letters. A flip can alter every word that uses that stone, so each word has to remain valid after the change.

Scoring multiplies a word’s Value by its Mult. Letter values add to Value, while heavy letters showing on stones you place or flip contribute to Mult. You get a limited number of moves and discards each round, and must reach its target score.
