This is the first Maleficus / Barricade game in SL. It allows to play with up to 4 ava's.
How to play the game:
1) Touch the board. A menu asking with how many players you want to play (1- 4 players) appears. You may also play alone or using all colors simultaneously.
In the options menu, you are asked if you want to enable placing the barricades into the bottom row. The default is <No>, as most common game rules do not allow this.
2) The starting player is determined. Roll the dice when asked. The opponents are the ava's who first roll the dice. Subsequent moves are only accepted from the ava identified then.
3) The game begins with the ava who had the highest dice count.
4)
a) Roll the dice. The pieces that you can move become slightly transparent.
b) Select one of those. Once selected, the possible moves are indicated and the piece you want to move is raised. If by this move an opponents piece or a barricade is hit, they are highlighted as well.
c) To deselect, click the raised piece again.
d) Select one of the possible targets. If an opponent's piece is hit, it will be send home. If a barricade is hit, you are asked to move it to a different field. Click the board at any free spot (except the final and bottom row when disabled).
5) The game ends when one of the pieces reaches the final destination.
RESET: Click one of the side face of the board or the bottom face to reset the game. Only the ava who started the game may initiate a reset.
Medical Warning: If you're new to this game, be warned that prolonged exposure will renew your faith in schadenfreude and revenge and make your eyes watery. Failure to display such symptoms might be an indication that you are clinically dead.
