This has to be my favourite downloadable DSiWare game i've downloaded yet.
When you first download and open the game, you choose your profile name and your avatar.
The avatar can be food, faces, fish or flowers.
Mines a Strawberry!
There is Single Player and Multiplayer. I'll Explain both.
Single Player
You have 5 games to choose from.
Backgammon
Field Tactics
Turncoat
Connect Five
Grid Attack.
The game saves your scores and you may play at an unlimited amount of time.
Backgammon
At the start of the game, your roll the dice to see who goes first.
The person with the highest number goes first.
The object of the game is move all your checkers into your own home board and then bear them off. The first player to bear off all of their checkers wins the game.
Your checkers are red, the CPU'S are Blue.
The checkers start at 164 each.
It takes a while to finish but you'll get the hang of it! You can also undo your actions, and change some of the rules in Options. You can read the main rules, in "Rules"
You can also quit at any time.
Field Tackticks
I don't really understand this one.
But you have a set of icons.
From what i see now, an airoplane, stars, bombs, horses, flags, triangles, tools faces etc.
You set the tiles on your part if the screen.
CPU will do theirs too.
Invade CPU's "base camp" by capturing enemy pieces.
The ones with the stars on can only take base camps.
If CPU captures all your pieces, its game over.
By tapping replay, you can check the CPU's last move.
2 triangles > 1 Triangle. The 1 the person who chose the 1 triangle loses the card.
2 triangles > 3 triangles, the person who chose the 2 triangles loses the card.
2 triangles > 2 triangles both players lose.
Etc.
You click and drag the pieces one at a time on the CPU's base, and hope for the best.
You can change the rules and options.
Also, you can read the main rules and quit at any time.
Yes, definitely check out the cartridge version, Clubhouse Games (42 All-Time Classics). Great single player fun, but even better, the game supports NiWiFi, so you can play games online. =)
