At the end of ten rounds, the player with the most accumulated points wins!įarragomate was almost certainly created as a tribute to Psychobabble, a discontinued Popcap game built on essentially the same principle. Anyone who votes for the winner also gets 1 point. Each vote is worth 1 point, and the top vote getters each receive 5 points. It's harder than it seems, because you have at most 80 seconds to look over the words, think of something to say and get them all in order before they are submitted.Īfter time is up, all players sentences are displayed (unmarked, so you don't know who submitted what), and you then vote for your favorite from among the other sentences. Try to make a complete sentence that fits the theme (if there is one) and makes some sort of sense. During a round there are two phases: sentence building and voting.ĭuring the sentence building phase, click words to put them into the submission box and drag them to move them around. To start, just enter your name and join, or create a game. Well, wonder no more, for Paul Preece and David Scott (AKA the Casual Collective) have just the thing: Farragomate! Compete against up to 9 other players to make the best sentence out of a given pool of words. 'What good is Magnetic Poetry if you can't be the best at it?' you might be saying. You know who you are you're the cutthroat competitor, the one who collected every bit of gold in N and will take on any comer who dare challenges you in Tetris. For some people, though, idle word shuffling just doesn't cut it. Did you know that Magnetic Poetry was invented as a way to write song lyrics? Luckily, nobody ever seriously considered using them for this purpose (or did they?), and they've wound up as the poetic equivalent of doodling on scratch paper.
