Big Bang Board Games
Collection of seven classic board games
It's Sun vs. Moon in these innovative takes on seven classic games. Play Checkers, Chess, Reversi, Mancala, Backgammon, 4-in-a-Row and Tic-Tac-Toe against animated computer opponents, via email with friends, or online with opponents from around the world!
Big Bang Board Games are the start of a whole new universe of casual gaming. Visually stunning, the games not only play nice with Mac OS X programs like iTunes, Apple Mail, iChat and iSight, but incorporate them into game play to make the games as cool as the Mac itself.
Big Bang Mancala Rules
Object: To have the most stones in your Mancala (the bowl at the right of the board) when there are no more stones in play.
Strategy: Do not think in terms of saving up your Will o' The Wisps, but instead, think more zen-like. The more you give away the more comes back to you. (Like the bluebird of happiness!)
Big Bang Reversi Rules
Object: To have the most pieces on the board with your own color.
Strategy: In the beginning of the game try to stay as close to the center of the board as possible. Corners are impossible to surround so try to seize them!
Big Bang Chess Rules
Object: To win at Chess, you must trap your opponent's king so that he is threatened, and has no legal moves that would make the king safe. This is called a “checkmate”.
Big Bang Checkers (Draughts) Rules
Object: To prevent the opponent from being able to move. Do this by either capturing all of his/her checkers, or by blocking his/her pieces so that they can not be moved. If nobody can do this, the game ends in a draw.
Strategy: The four back rows are not jumpable so it's good to keep your men there as long as possible. Try to trigger movement in the opponent's ranks by sacrificing checkers. Good luck!
Big Bang Backgammon Rules
Object: The object of the game is to move all of your checkers into your home quadrant, and then off the board, “bear them off.” The first player to bear off all pieces wins the game.
Big Bang 4-In-A-Row Rules
Object: To connect pieces of your color so that a row of 4 pieces is made. Rows may be vertical, horizontal, or diagonal. The first player to do so wins. Should no player make a four-piece row by the time the entire board is full, the match ends in a draw.
Strategy: Getting three pieces in a row with no blocks on either side is a guaranteed win. Try to maximize your chances at making these while not allowing your opponent to do the same.
Big Bang Tic-Tac-Toe Rules
Object: To place three of your markers in a row.
Strategy: Remember that there are eight possible ways to get three in a row once you have the middle, but that doesn't mean you're automatically going to win.
