Chain Reaction is played on an 8 by 8 board. Players take turns to move.
|
|
On each move, the player may select an empty square, or one they already
|
|
own. Squares belonging to other players may not be chosen. If the square
|
|
was unowned, it becomes the property of the player, and is given a value of
|
|
1. If the square was owned by the player, the value is incremented.
|
|
|
|
If the value of a square ever exceeds the maximum permitted of that
|
|
square, it explodes. Squares in the corner have a maximum of 1, squares
|
|
touching an edge, but not on a corner have a maximum of 2, and squares in
|
|
the interior have a maximum of 3.
|
|
|
|
When a square explodes, it becomes unowned, and it's value is reset to
|
|
0. The 4 squares touching it become owned by the owner of the exploding
|
|
square, and their values are incremented. If any of these are above their
|
|
maximum, they explode, giving rise to the chain reaction.
|
|
|
|
If, at the end of a move, any of the players have no squares, they are
|
|
dead, and get no more turns. When there is only one person left, they are
|
|
the winner.
