Try to roll four of your balls into a row, either horizontally or vertically or diagonally. Players Red and Blue roll in turn. Red balls roll upwards only, one step either to the north or the northwest or the northeast. Blue balls roll downwards only, one step either to the south or the southwest or the southeast. Balls may roll to free squares only. Passing is not allowed. The game will end in a win for for one side, because players can not block each other permanently in the center - at least from this starting position. The first idea for "Roll-Ing" rose when we had fun with H.D. Ruderman's nice little game "Nu TicTacToe" which is also realized in the basic Zillions collection. On strategy: Don't make the mistake to roll away your central pieces. Instead, try to clump all your balls in one big cluster. Then a winning combination will follow almost automatically. Ok, ok, the opponent may try the same. But ... at least Zillions does not understand this plan - see the screenshot. |
