- HOW TO PLAY DEEP POCKETS
- ===================================================================
- The goal of the game is to gain points by removing game pieces
- from the board. When you place five same color pieces on the same
- square (say, five red balls on the same square), they are removed
- from the board.
-
- Visually the number of color pieces stacked up on the same square
- is indicated by background getting filled with the matching color
- from the bottom up. Once two or more pieces are placed on the
- square, they cannot be moved any further.
-
- To make a move, click on the desired piece (it will start
- flashing), then click on a square where you want to move it. The
- flashing piece will move to the selected destination if there is
- a path of contiguous squares between the two locations so that it
- can "roll" to the new square.
-
- If as a result of the move five same color pieces are stacked up
- on a square, they are removed from the board and you are awarded
- game points. Otherwise, three new pieces will randomly appear on
- the board. The special "smiley" piece can be used as a wild card
- ("joker"), i.e. instead of any color.
-
- In the Beginner level you score 1 point for each game piece
- removed from the field. The Intermediate level awards 2 points,
- and the Expert level gives you 3 points for each piece.
