Shuttles

Shuttles is a board game by Shoptaugh Games, who also commissioned and distributed this computer implementation. Every turn, a player may make one of the following moves:

• Move one shuttle of his color one step to the left or right.
• Move the yellow center shuttle, unless the opponent has moved it in the previous turn.
• Move one piece of his own color in a straight, free line.
• Jump over an adjacent piece of the opponent.

The goal is to get all of your pieces to the other side.

The shareware version will expire after being played 15 times. What makes it worthwhile to check out nevertheless are the graphics and animations by Dana Muise. You play against a strange yellow alien whom Shoptaugh calls the monster. His face will show what he thinks about your moves, and he will occasionally scratch his chin while thinking. The spectators cheer or jeer, one of them chews gum and blows bubbles, another one occasionally throws a paper glider.
