Gameplay
In Quarrel, the aim of the game is to take all the territory from the other players (up to four). To do this, the player 'invades' neighboring territory and then must make a higher-scoring word than his or her opponent. Opponents include Dwayne, Caprice, Biff, Troy, Damien, Malik, Rex, Helena, and Kali. Dwayne is the easiest and Kali is the hardest.
Scoring
As with other word games, letters have individual scores. These range from 1 to 15, and value is based on commonality in spoken-word communications rather than written-word communications.
Letter scores are as follows:
| A-M | A-M Value | N-Z | N-Z Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 1 | N | 1 |
| B | 5 | O | 1 |
| C | 2 | P | 3 |
| D | 3 | Q | 15 |
| E | 1 | R | 2 |
| F | 5 | S | 1 |
| G | 4 | T | 1 |
| H | 4 | U | 3 |
| I | 1 | V | 6 |
