........:: DEVET ::........

A game by Jordan Tuzsuzov

..:: Introduction ::..

Devet can be your game... No matter how old you are, and no matter how fast are your reactions. No violence, no weapons, no enemies. Just a strategy. And a little piece of luck :) Devet is an original strategy / puzzle game for one player. You can play the game on your PC, PDA, mobile phone, in Internet club near you, or without any of these machines - as a board game. Visit http://devet.tuzsuzov.com for more information about the project.

DEVET IS AN ORIGINAL GAME, IT'S NOT A CLONE OR REMAKE. *

..:: How to play ::..

The goal of the game is to place as much as possible elements on the gaming board, which is a quad-grid 5x5. Elements are 2, 3 and 4 sided squares in all variations - 11 type of elements. The game starts with the maximal element (with four sides) already placed in the center of the game field. Every next element, can be put on the board, only if at least one side of it can touch a side of an existing element. No full matching is required. If the side(s) of just-placed element, touches the gaming board border, the set of the connected elements, scrolls in the opposite direction (or directions, if the element touches two borders). When this scrolling occurs, extra elements are removed from the element set. The player can see the current element and the one, which comes next. Every successfully placed element is counted. The game ends, when the current element can't be matched nowhere in the field.

..:: Basic strategy ::..

Try to have at least three of all possible four open sides, on every moment on the field. If you see, that the two incomming elements can scroll the field, for and back and open useful elements (elements with open sides), use them for this.
