The object of Squarez is to form 3 x 3
squares out of groups of tiles. There
is a time limit for each group of tiles,
and if time runs out and a group of
tiles is trapped in the holding area,
the game is over. There are many special
tiles that can help or hinder progress.
These special tiles are activated by
making them part of a square. The higher
the level, the less time you will have
to put your pieces down. The tiles and
scores are described on the next page.
In addition to points from tiles, one
point is awarded for every piece placed
and ten points are awarded for every
square created. There is a bonus for
completing more than one square at once.
A VGA or MCGA video card is required
