An intriguing tactical game for two players. The display is an 8 x 8 squared grid with four innermost squares removed. Top left and bottom right are the starting positions of each player, marked by red and blue counters. The object is to move the counter until it occupies your opponent's starting square.

Inside the remaining squares of the grid are arrows, randomly located when the board was set up, which point in three of eight possible directions. It is these indicators that determine the moves as you are only able to go in one of the directions shown on the square that your opponent occupies. So if you plan to outwit him some subtle manouevring is required.

Before the game starts, you have the choice of playing with unlimited or limited moves, from 5 to 9999, to control the length of each game. When, in the latter case, the selected number has been played the computer decides the winner based on who is nearer to the goal. In the event of no legal moves being possible for either player, the participants must decide this for themselves.
