SHOOT THE BREEZE is a 1 to 4 player game that tempers strategy with the
randomness of the roll of the dice. Four players play the game, but they
don't all have to be human players. You can play against one, two or three
computer players.
In SHOOT THE BREEZE, you're called upon to use your mathematical skills
as well as a little common sense to get the lowest possible score. You do
this by eliminating the most flags. You have nine flags at the top of the
screen, valued 1-9. When your turn comes around, you must lower the flag(s)
that match the total of the dice you rolled. Your score will always be the
sum of the remaining flags.
EXAMPLE: Let's say I roll a 7. I might lower 1 and 6, 2 and 5, 3 and
4, or 7. Let's say I choose 3 and 4. My next roll is a 4. Now, since only
1 and 3 or 4 equals 4, I can't move because 3 and 4 are lowered and a number
cannot be used once it's been lowered. You can only lower one flag if it
equals the sum of the dice.
On the screen are the flags and dice with a window at the bottom of the
screen with instructions and scores. You can press I for instructions, DEL
to go back (on the 2nd number only!), X to forfeit/exit your turn (no more
moves), or Q to quit the whole game. If you decide to quit your turn or
quit the game you'll be asked if you're sure. If you quit the game, you can
play again with the same players, if you wish.
After all turns are finished, a winner will be declared. Then you can
play again with/without the same players. Have a good time and remember,
this is one game where you don't want to be a flagwaver!
