Emulation
This game works with: SheepShaver, Basilisk II, Mini vMac Mini vMac II

A three-word summary: hexagonal reversi-checkers. Instead of removing your opponent's pieces from the board, jumping over them flips them to your color. These jumps can be chained together to tremendous effect, but the better part of strategy involves denying the other player opportunities to reverse your gains down the line.

Many customization options are available, including hints and handicaps for novices, 7 levels of artificial intelligence, and animated pieces with a built-in editor. For those too young to appreciate the primary game, there are even modes that repurpose the board for concentration and mouse practice.

Version: 1.0

Compatibility
Architecture: 68k

Works with Mini vMac under System 7.5.3 and SheepShaver with Mac OS 9, so it must run also with Basilisk II under System 7 to 8.
