-
- THE GAME
- The game Majestic Dominion is a computerized version of that old game
- that most of us know about, but only some can play: Checkers.
- The Rules are the same, and are outlined in "How To," a game menu, but
- for simplicity, here they are again:
- PIECES
- --There are two types of pieces, in different colors for either
- player. Blue goes first, Red second(Note--the computer is always Red)
- --Normal pieces move only on diagonals in the direction
- of the opponents back line.
- --Kings move towards both back lines.
- --Kings are made when a normal piece lands on its opponent's back line.
- ATTACKING
- --Pieces can capture enemy pieces by jumping them.
- --If a player can make a jump, he MUST do so. However, if he has
- two or more possible jumps, he can choose between them.
- --If after jumping, a players piece can make another jump from the
- space at which it landed, (a double jump) it MUST do so.
- OBJECTIVE
- --A player wins by capturing all of the opponents pieces or
- immobilizing them(in other words, locking them in so they can't move.)
- HINTS
- --Try to gain the sides-your pieces can't be jumped there.
- --At the beginning, some trade offs(a piece for a piece) are inevitable,
- and until a certain point, are good. But keep enough pieces that you
- can still defend your back line.
- --Try to gain kings, and prevent your opponent from doing the same.
- --Once you have kings, use them to sneak up on your opponents normal
- pieces-they can't attack you when you're behind them, but you can
- attack them.
- --Look at all options and moves before moving as impulsive moves can
- prove harmful.
