- ====DESCRIPTION:
-
- BOXEM is board game suitable for both children and adults. BOXEM has high
- fidelity pictures (256 colors) and sounds (22,000 Hz *.WAV format) to make
- the playing experience more enjoyable. Each picture has a description with
- interesting facts. Most people usually play the game a few times for the
- challenge; then, they play the game to see all the pictures, listen to all
- the sounds, and read all the keenly accurate descriptions. BOXEM also allows
- the user to add their own pictures, sounds, and keenly accurate
- descriptions to the game.
-
- BOXEM is a simple game of logic similar to "pen-the-pig" or "squares". The
- object of the game is to build more boxes (squares) on the game grid than
- your opponent. Each box is formed one side at a time by connecting two grid
- points. A player scores a point when their move creates a four sided box.
- When a complete box is made, the box is "removed" to show a portion of a
- picture which lies under the BOXEM playing board. When all the boxes are
- made, the complete picture becomes visible, a sound related to the picture
- is played (either through a sound board or the PC speaker) and a brief
- description of the picture appears.
