GAME PLAY

ATOMS is a Human Versus Computer strategy game. The objective is to eliminate the opponent by blowing up their Atoms.

Each player takes a turn by placing an Atom in a square on the board.

The human player can start by placing the first Atom or have the computer start by pressing the Computer First button.

A player can place the Atom in any square not occupied by the opponent.

When a square accumulates 4 Atoms it explodes and the Atoms are distributed to the adjoining squares.

If the adjoining square is occupied by the opponent the square and its Atoms become the property of the other player.

If the explosion causes an adjoining square to accumulate 4 Atoms it in turn explodes and so forth.

One player wins when the opponent loses all Atoms on the board.
