Capturing Pieces Sequence of Play If you are not sure where to make your next move, try selecting the Hint command found in the Game menu. Ensemble will show you the best move to make. Turnabout is a strategy game where you try to gain control of the board by capturing your opponent's pieces. The game ends when no one can make any more moves. The person with the most pieces on the board wins. The captures are done by placing your pieces on both sides of a single piece or at both ends of a row of your opponent's pieces. When you capture a piece or a row of pieces, they change to become your pieces. You may have to capture the same piece more than once in the course of the game. Captures can occur in any direction: vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. You can play Turnabout against either another person or against the system. Either way, the game play sequence is the same: "To play Turnabout: 1. Click on the New Game icon or select Start New Game from the Game menu. You are shown a game board with four pieces in the center four squares of the board. 2. Move the pointer to the square where you want to put your next piece. Remember, this move must result in the capture of an enemy piece. 3. Click the mouse. The system places your piece in the square and then changes the color of all the pieces that were captured to your color. You can only put your piece in a square where it will capture one or more of your opponent's pieces. If you try to put your piece anywhere else, the computer beeps and waits for you to select a different square. 4. The system then places its next piece. Watch the board carefully because the action moves very quickly. 5. It is your turn again to place your next piece. Play continues until no more of the pieces can be captured. Ensemble keeps a running score of how many pieces each player has during the game. The player that has the most pieces on the board at the end of the game wins. Games 315
