- Overview:
- Manipulation is a complex strategy game in the long line of games that
- are part of the Chess Replacement Project. It's not that we have
- anything against chess, it's just that chess has been around for
- hundreds of years and it's time for something different. How can
- any one game replace chess you say? It's easy when you have delusions
- of grandeur.
-
- Gameplay:
- Manipulation is currently designed for two players sitting at the same
- computer and using one mouse (other configurations are planned for the
- future). There are two different sides to choose from, gold and silver.
- Gold starts at the top of the 8 x 8 playing board and silver is content
- to start at the bottom. Each side starts out with 16 pieces total, and
- there are 8 different types of pieces (you begin the game with two of
- each type). The game revolves around one type of piece which goes by
- the name of Blank. All of the pieces were drawn to look like coins
- (of course my versions look like stick coins :) with different faces
- to differentiate between the different types of pieces. The Blank is
- well to tell the truth a blank coin. When you run out of these the
- game is over, but if that was all there was to it well this wouldn't be
- a very challenging game now would it.
