Game: Ducado
Invented (in 1985) and implemented by Karl Scherer, December 2000.
The objective is to win more money than your opponent. (4 variants)
Click on the board to start. This will cause 16 coins to drop, face down. These coins carry values of $1, $2, $3, or $4.
Each player has two moves.
First you drop a token on one of the yellow petals. Tokens have to be placed next to a golden coin.
After a token drop, click any coin to flip it and look at its value. You win the coin if the number of tokens adjacent to it equals its value. Coins you have won will turn into your colour. If you do not win the coin, it will be flipped over again. Coins whose value is less than the number of adjacent tokens will disappear.
The player with the most money wins.
The little indicator at the left border indicates how much player Blue is ahead of player Green. If at the end the indicator is above mid height (and hence blue in color), then player Blue wins. If it is lower, Green wins.
Variants 3 and 4 are 'Open Ducado' games, played with all coins facing up.
In my original Ducado game a player had a free turn (comprising a drop and a flip) if he had won a coin. I could not find a way to implement this in Zillions.
