Welcome to Jumbalaya!
Please send mail if you have suggestions, questions, or bug reports.
There is a Jumbalaya
Yahoo group
that serves as a discussion area. Anyone is welcome to join.
There are two ways to play Jumbalaya on this server:
Single player
You play the computer, which you can set to play at a level
between 1 and 10. At level 1 the computer appears to misplace the list of
words it wrote down. Level 5 is a good challenge for a seasoned
wordmonger. At level 10 you're lucky to score at all.
Multi-player
You can play against other people by either starting or joining a
multiplayer game. When someone starts up a game, they allow a little while for
people to join, and can even have email sent to interested players. If you're
interested in playing others, it's better to join a game taking signups (if
there is one) than to start up a new one and dilute the pool of players.
You'll need a handle to play in multiplayer
games.
To join a pending game, first select the Join link to see a list of
games that are currently taking signups. The game setup for each is shown.
To start up a new multi-player game, press the button labeled
Less starch. No, wait, that's wrong, press the button labeled
Start a multiplayer game. You'll be asked to make important decisions
about the game you are creating.
General Help
What you're looking for may be in the list of frequently
asked questions. If you're trying to learn how to play the game (including
how the multiplayer game works), take a look at the
instructions. You may also find these strategy
hints helpful.
If you want to change your password or any of the personal info that shows up
when you've joined a game, go to the update
form.
You can also use the update form to check the state of your
account, for example its expiration date.
