Lee Haywood's Chain Reaction Description

Chain Reaction (aka Critical Mass, aka Atoms) is an addictive, multi-player 'board' game. Chain Reaction (aka Critical Mass, aka Atoms) is an addictive, multi-player 'board' game. Lee Haywood's Chain Reaction is easy to learn to play. There is a computer player (for 2 player games only). · Players take turns to add units (blobs) of their colour to either an empty cell or a cell they already occupy. · Once the number of blobs in a cell equals the number of neighbouring cells - 2 in a corner, 3 along an edge and 4 elsewhere - the blobs 'explode', adding 1 blob to each neighbour and leaving the original cell empty. · The neigbouring cell may then have enough blobs to explode as well - making their neigbours explode, and so on - a chain reaction. · Any blobs affected by the chain reaction change colour to that of the person making the move - this is how other player's cells are taken. · Wipe out your opponent(s) and win - eventually someone is going to win because the total number of blobs increases by 1 with each move, gradually filling the board.Here are some key features of "Lee Haywood s Chain Reaction":· Provides a high-quality computer player (for a single opponent). · Allows between 2 and 6 players. · Graphical implementation - can be played either in a window or in full-screen mode. · Configurable for different screen resolutions, allowing massive boards to be used. · Audio support for both sound-cards and simple beeps/bells. · Features a grid editor. · Automatically moves the mouse pointer back to the current player's last position. · Indicates where each player last went. · Shows progress indicators for each player and for the whole game. · Player names may be entered and saved. · Players can choose their favourite colour to play with. · Foreground and background 'skins' may be changed. · Saved states can be automatically loaded when the program starts.
