- 1. HOW TO PLAY 5-OR-MORE!
- =========================
- The goal of the game is to gain points by removing game pieces from
- the board. The pieces are removed when you arrange 5 or more pieces
- of the same color horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
-
- To make a move, click on the desired piece (it will start
- flashing), then click on a square where you want to move it. The
- flashing piece will move to the selected destination if there is a
- path of contiguous squares between the two locations. If as a
- result of the move 5 or more same color pieces become lined up,
- they are removed from the board and you are awarded game points.
- Otherwise 3 new pieces will randomly appear on the board.
-
- The special "smiley" piece can be used as a "joker", i.e. instead
- of any color.
