Breakthrough
Board Game
This amazing little board game is the winner
of the
2001 8*8 game design contest.
This was the board game of the year! It is
created by Dan Troyka, and luckily, he gave
us the permmission to include his beautiful
game in The Magic Seal Puzzle Games. Thanks,
Dan!
The game is played on a 8
* 8 board. Each player has 16 pieces,
starring our long beloved fire balls.
Each player can advance his piece forward
one step, or diagonal one step. a player can
also take an opponent piece in a diagonal
move only.
The
winner is the player who gets one
piece to the last row.
This game is so easy to
learn, but really hard to master. You can
play against a friend, or against the
computer.
There are
three level of difficulties when you play
against the computer
1.
Easy: if you are still learning the
rules
2.
Normal: For beginners only
3.
Hard: this IS what you should be playing
once you grasp the rules and the different
strategies of the game
If the
Hard mode is still not enough for you, try
to press A, D, and N simultaneously after
starting the game. See if you can still win!
