Are you ready for the ultimate battle?

Level your character up, unlocking new actions and boards. Experience epic four player games, customize your character with unique titles and avatars, or try out Nightmare Mode for an extra challenge! Grab an extra boost anytime by calling in the Reserves! All this and much more await you in this new addition to the War of Words series.
War of Words 2 is an entertaining hybrid word/strategy game. Building on the formula established in the original War of Words, War of Words 2 introduces new Action Tiles including Nuclear Bomb, Black Hole, Blaster, Poison, Medic, and Portal tiles. Players can destroy the entire board with a Nuclear Bomb, poison their opponents over several turns, zap an entire row of tiles with a Blaster, or play their words through Portals for the ultimate mind-bending crossword experience.
In War of Words 2, players start at level 1 and work their way up as they play. At each level, players unlock a new Action Tile and one or more new board layouts. This level curve eases players into the game slowly, teaching them new mechanics one at a time.
War of Words 2 is the ideal word game for players who enjoy a healthy dose of strategy and action. There are explosions at every turn, and players who find themselves on the losing side can often use Action Tiles to regain the lead. The scoring math from the original War of Words has been redesigned in Apocalypse, making the game much more fair and balanced.
There are nearly 100 achievements to attempt, and successful players will earn new Titles and Avatars to show off their impressive accomplishments.
