WOK STONEWARS
HOW TO PLAY
Each
player begins with 8 Stones each of which
may hold upto 7 points. Each side has 24
points total to begin with.
Each turn you may take one action. The three actions are:
1. Movement : Stones may be moved a
number of squares equal to the Points on them either in a straight line or
*diagonally*. They may NOT jump other stones so must have a clear path. To move
a stone LEFT click on it and possible landing squares will be highlighted. LEFT
click on one to move there.
2. Splitting : Points may be
SPLIT to other stones. To do this RIGHT
click on the Stone you wish to redistribute the points from. Then RIGHT click on
all Stones you wish to add a point to. You must remove ALL points from the first
Stone and may only put ONE point on other Stones. To cancel SPLITTING you may
RIGHT click on the original Stone again before all the points are distributed.
Since Stones may only have 7 points splitting a full Stone will AUTOMATICALLY
give all other Stones 1 point.
3, Attacking : To attack you LEFT Click
on one of your Stones and may then LEFT click on any square that contains an
Enemy Stone (that has Points on it) in your Stones landing areas. NOTE : This
will *not* move your Stone.
The attack will destroy all points on the Enemy Stone regardless of relative
point totals (ie you can destroy 7 points with a 1 point stone). The Enemy Stone
will remain where it is as a zero point stone and may have Points Split to it
later so keep that in mind.
Also clicking on the Enemy Stone will do nothing - it must be the Square it sits
on.
You are also allowed to attack an enemy Stone that hasnt any points on it - you
will not achieve anything by doing so, but its still a valid move in case you
need to do anything.
WINNING : There are 4 ways to win.
1. Domination : Destroy all your Enemies Points.
2. Limited Moves : Highest point total after xx moves wins.
3. Time: If an opponents total move time exceeds the xx minute limit for a game.
ie in a 10 minute game no player may take more than 10 minutes total to make ALL
their moves.
4. Surrender : One player may surrender to another at any time.
SCORING : Each Stone contains upto 7
Points. Each player starts with 24 Points. As these Points are destroyed they
may NOT be regained. Any Stone on one of the 4 center Squares will count as
triple points for scoring purposes only. All other Stones count as face value
for Scoring.
Any Stone placed on the enemy starting row (either top row/bottom row) will
count as double for the total score. This applies no matter what scenario you
play.
