Match Up

Game play in Match Up involves players taking turns. When it is your turn, you get to turn over two cards. If they are identical, the two cards will change to a bright green, and you will score two points. If they are not identical, they will be turned back over when the other player makes his or her first pick. The trick is to remember which cards are where, so that you can make future matches.

The goal of the game is to get more points than your opponent. The board has 100 cards, which are comprised of 50 matching pairs. You can see which cards your opponent turns over, and your opponent can see yours. By noting the identity of the cards your opponent turns over, you can make better guesses when it it your turn.

The game ends when all of the cards have been matched. [Play Match Up]

Reversi

Game play in reversi is simple. When it is your turn, click on the board to place a piece. Once you place your piece, the program will look for cases where your new piece captures your opponent's pieces by catching them in between you new piece and another one of your pieces on the board. You can simply capture one piece by surrounding it on two sides, horizontally, vertically or diagonally. Or, you can capture a whole row of pieces this way. One complexity of the game is that not only can you capture an opponent's piece, but you must capture at least one every turn.

Reversi includes a hint button. This will show you where your valid moves are. Using this feature is a great way to learn this game. [Play Reversi]

Sea Battle

To play Sea Battle, you must first place your ships on the board. They are placed in default positions at the upper left corner of the board, but you will want to move them around. Click and drag to reposition the ships, and double-click on a ship to switch its horizontal or vertical orientation. You will not be allowed to continue to play if you overlap ships.

Once both players have placed their ships, you will take turns firing on each other. You get one shot for every ship you have. You use the second board to fire your shots. You will see if you have a hit or a miss. When you sink a ship, the ship will appear under the red explosion marks. Sinking all of your opponent's ships is the goal of the game. [Play Sea Battle]

Think Ahead

Game play in Think Ahead involves players taking turns. When it is your turn, you will need to pick a number from the row or column specified. When you do this, you get awarded the number of points shown. Sometimes this number is negative. Then, the selection bar will shift from the row to the column, or from the column to the row. This shift always happens around the number you choose.

The goal of the game is to get more points than your opponent. They best way to do this is to "think ahead" to what you opponent can get if you chose a certain number. If you are really good, you can begin to think ahead by several moves.

The game ends when the board is empty, or when the selection bar moves to a row or column that has no numbers left. [Play Think Head]

Word Rush

Game play in Word Rush involves players taking turns. When it is your turn, you will need to use one or more of your nine letters to make a word. Drag and drop each letter on to the playing area. The word must use at least one letter already on the screen, but it can use more. If your letters also touch other letters on the screen, they must form valid words. In these cases, the word combination with the highest number of points is awarded, but not both words.

You can also pass during a turn. Use this if you feel you cannot make a word with your letters. When you pass, all of your letters will be replaced with new ones and you turn is over.A valid word is one that is in the game's internal dictionary. This dictionary contains about 40,000 basic words. Most plurals that use an "s" are NOT valid words in this game. Neither are words that use suffixes, like "ed" or "ing". If the word is not in the dictionary, you will be told and given the chance to try another word.

Scoring is based on the number of letters in the word you make. You get one point per letter, hether that letter was one you placed, or one that was already on the board. If one of your new letters if on a space with a "+2" or a "+5", you also score those extra points.

The goal of the game is to get to 60 points. The first player to do so will be declared the winner. [Play Word Rush]
