Cellblock
This game is one that you will need to play over several days to get max NP out of it. This is because games have an NP cap on them for daily earnings.
Aim of the game
Get a row of five stones first
Winning Trophies
To progress through the game you will have to beat succesivly harder opponants in a best of x style contest. As the opponants get harder so too the number of rounds you have to beat them in.
Once you have beaten them all, you have to do it again. and again. and...
Once you have beaten them all enough times bronze is yours and then silver and miles into it gold.
As you repeate the loop and and fight to victory the rules change.
Fortunatly if you loose a round you play the round again.
Rule changes
To start with all stones must be placed next to another stone but with four (two of your, to of thiers) in a square in the center of the board.
After a while the next to another stone rule is lifted.
After a few more compleate cycles the four in the center are removed and then you are playing a version of GO! a hard old Japanees traditional game.
Playing Tips
- Try to form an unblocked "three" (three in a row) each turn
- failing that convert a three into a four (to force the other to block
- never let the other guy keep an unblocked three
- if you have an unblocked four you can not be stopped from winning
- Try to cluster your three's in clumps o make auto matic threes and blocked fours
- A good trick is to make three's in such a way that you make three(s) in other directions - two or more unblocked three's mean that you will make an unblocked four and there is nothing they can do.
- Ignore the initial diaganal as it's a no hoper.
Secret Three's
As well as having three in a row something that more subtal but just as good is 1-space-2 this is also considered a three but is slightly more powerfull as another stone at either end or the middle (three locations) could make it a four.
Even better but very hard to get is 1-space-1-space-1 it's harder to spot (for you) and can easily become an unblocked four.
