Yo, ho, ho and a bottle of rum! Ahoy there me lads and lasses! The crew and I played some games to relax and enjoy after a week of intense booty hunting. The place we explored was huge and dangerous, so it took us several days to find the booties, but what’s important is that we succeeded! It was one of the most challenging adventures we had, but it was all worth it because the items we found were all unique and incredible. Before we got drunk, one of the games we played was a word game. You guessed it right! Our team won! You know how this old salt is so good with word games, aye? Har, har, har! That’s all thanks to the word game apps that I play on me phone whenever I have free time. I’ll share one of them with you in this app review. Batten down the hatches as I tell you more about the game called Word City: Connect Word Game by Unico Games Studio.
