Each maze on the agenda must be completed consecutively before advancing to the next, but you can play any of the completed games any time you want. The mazes get progressively more challenging as you advance. Playing a single-player tourney involves selecting your computer opponents' skill levels. The goal is to claim territory and try to hold on to it as well. Multi-player mode involves competing against human opponents over a LAN or the Internet, hosted by MSN Gaming Zone.
Players can either join or host a tournament.
There is a way for two players to play on the same computer with two different gamepads, but it looks to be rather tricky. The radar map is always available at the top right hand side of the screen which helps to see which squares players have claimed as their own. Three different camera views make things interesting and customizable. Players can rotate the maze with their camera control, and in fact this rotation is necessary as part of the strategy for certain games. It can be accessed from the Programs menu, and mazes you build can be saved and played in tournaments.
