Instructions (in case it can't be read with this resolution):
The goal is to score higher than the other teams. Score is determined by the total points of all placed tiles.

Each turn you can place a tile anywhere on the board from your hand.

Once placed, the tile changes those around it. If the other tile belongs to another team, it captures that tile if it is of lower points, otherwise it decreases its power by 2 points. If the tile belongs to you, you increase its power by 2 points.

Hurry up and get it on XBLA!!!

[cableshaft]

It will be on the XLIG (Xbox LIVE Indie Games) soon. I'm doing the last major fixes this week and I'll be putting it into playtesting shortly after that. Expect it to be out by the end of the year at the very latest, but I'm aiming for November.

i don't understand why you can pick which number you want, is there some disadvantage to picking higher numbered tiles? O.O

[cableshaft]

yeah, if you use them up as soon as you get them, you might not have them later in the game when there are better captures to be made.

on your site you claim "This game won 3rd place in Microsoft's Dream-Build-Play competition". what year was this?

[cableshaft]

2007. The first competition. I understand there's been another since then.
