RELEASE: Stones II

[Nathaniel Tagg]

Stones II is a shareware game by Nathaniel Tagg.

I have seen this game called Mancala, Ouare, Awele, Ayo and Kalah.
I've seen it marketed under the name Arcana, and heard of a commertial
version called "Sorry". I've heard it referred to as being African.
Mesopotamian, East Asian, or Indian in origin, and seems to come in
almost as many variations as card games do.
The game is played all over the world, by all ages. Children aged 7
and up can play. Although not intended as an educationaly game, playing
reinforces simple arithmetic skills.

Stones II features full colour and sound, fast and easy play, full
documentation, many game variants, and a selection of computer opponents
varying from the mundane to the unbeatable. Play the computer or a friend.
Stones II will run on any Macintosh computer equipped with system 7.0
or later and Colour Quickdraw (i.e. any Mac made since the Mac SE). The
game is both PowerPC and 68k native. It requires 1 Mb of hard drive
space, and will run fine with 1 Mb of free memory.

This game is shareware, $10 American or Canadian, but does not
require registration for full features.

Available soon at info-mac mirrors, or at

travels through all this howling emptiness are roughly comparable to that
of dropping a ball bearing at random from a cruising 747 and hitting,
say, an egg sandwich." -- Douglas Adams, _Mostly_Harmless_
