- INSTRUCTIONS
- ____________
-
- 1. Before the game begins you must select the number of human & computer
- players. There can be up to six total players, and at least one must
- be human. The only other pre-game step is entering the players names.
- 2. After the players names are enter the play then begins. One of two things
- will happen on a player's turn. He/she will either be awarded popular
- votes OR there will be an election.
- 3. If popular votes were awarded this is all that will happen on that players
- turn. Hit anykey, and play will continue to next player. The popular
- votes just awarded will not be included in the total until the screen is
- updated with the new players turn.
- 4. If there is an election, it will be in one of 4 regions of the country.
- The region will be shown along with all remaining states not already won.
- The number in parentheses is the number of electorial votes that state is
- worth.
- 5. You win a state by bidding on it with your popular votes. Each player in
- turn enters a secret bid into the computer. You may bid any amount up to
- and including your total number of popular votes. (There is no prompt for
- computer players bids, it is done automatically)
- 6. Who ever bids the most wins that state's electorial votes. And the
- the player bid is deducted from his popular votes.
- 7. If there is an election on your turn, and you do not win the state, then
- what ever the winning player bid, that is added to your popular votes.
- 8. Play continues until someone gets enough electorial votes to win the
- election. Please note that if playing with 3 or more players the number
- of electorial votes needed to win will change based upon the number of
- electorial votes remaining.
- 9. When playing the game alone it is fairly easy to win if you select only
- one computer opponent. The game becomes more difficult with each
- additional computer opponent.
- 10. You can exit the game by hitting ESC at anytime except during the bidding
- prompts.
- 11. Each players name will flash on the scoreboard while it is thier turn.
- The color of the print also determines whos turn it is.
