RelationShips is a strategy game in which each player tries to outwit the
other and be the first to get five ships or boats outfitted.
One of the players outfits boats with smokestacks and the other puts cannons
on ships.
When it's your turn to play, all you have to do is pick one of the
squares on the board. Press the letter that corresponds to the square you
want, or use your mouse to click on it.
Play against the computer, but be prepared for a broadside.
The game begins in a human vs. computer mode. The computer is set to its
simplest setting. To begin, just enter a letter from A to P.
If the square you pick is empty, one of your boats will be put in it. If
the square has a boat, the boat will get more smokestacks. If the boat is
touching any other boats like it, it will get even more stacks. If it's next
to any ships, however, it won't get as many. As soon as you get five boats
with four smokestacks, each, you win.
For example, if you choose the square on the left below, you will get two
┌────┬────┐ smoke stacks, one for choosing the square and one ┌────┬────┐
│ X +│boat│ because it is next to a square with another boat │boat│+ X │
└────┴────┘ in it. If you choose the square in the center on └────┼──═─┤
the right, you will only add a single smoke stack since the ship │ship│
below cancels the boat on the left. └────┘
^CGood luck!

to activate. Use the mouse to answer yes and no, too. The left button is yes.
Click the right for no.
