The object of Digital Wipeout is to score as many points as possible by "wiping out" numbers on the board. There may be up to eight players. If you play alone, try to set a new record by wiping out the the entire board. Each turn starts by rolling the three dice. You need to then try to wipe out a number on the board by mathematically combining the three dice using one or more of the four basic operations (addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication). For instance, if a 3, 2, and 6 are rolled, the following numbers may be wiped out:
6 √∑ 3 + 2 = 4
3 - 2 + 6 = 7
(6 + 2) x 3 = 24
3 x 2 x 6 = 36
6 √∑ (3 -2) = 6
(6 + 3) x 2 = 18
6 - 2 - 3 = 1
(6 - 2) x 3 = 12
6 x 2 - 3 = 9
3 + 2 + 6 = 11
To wipe out a number, click it once on the board. A number may only be wiped out once per game. A player gets one point for wiping out a number plus an additional point for each adjacent number that has already been wiped out (either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally). It is possible for a player to get up to nine points on a single play.
For the most part, you will want to wipe out a number that will score the most points. However, if you want the game to last longer, or if you are trying to wipe out the entire board, you should wipe out the larger numbers whenever possible.
If a player cannot make a move, because all of the available answers are already wiped out, the player must click on the "Pass" button. No points are awarded to a player who passes. The game will end if no one can wipe out a number six times in a row. To end a game early, select "Abort" from the "Game" menu.
