2) VoRTeX (TM) is a brand new board game of strategy
and chance in which several game pieces are raced
through a spiral path to a common finish. VoRTeX is easy
to learn and on-line help guides you through any questions
you might have.

VoRTeX combines simple geometric shapes to provide 
endless hours of fun for all ages.  This game develops 
strategic thinking,  improves shape, pattern and color 
recognition for children and is thought-provoking for 
adults. The distance of the moves is decided by the throw 
of a computer die.  The choice of which piece to move is 
determined by the players so that their pieces advance 
more rapidly than the pieces of their rivals.

VoRTeX can be played by 1, 2, 3, or 4 players.  You may also 
include the computer to play one or more positions.  A demo
option is also included to quickly familiarize you to this game. 

You may choose the board-shape (a square or circle),  
board-size (small, medium or large),  no. of game-pieces 
(1,2,3 or 4),  play-level (novice, intermediate or 
expert).  Other options include animation speed,  color 
of game pieces and tracks.

The ease and rapidity of playing VoRTeX ranges from that 
of Tic-Tac-Toe to a chess game. Depending on 
the options that you choose a game of VoRTeX can be over 
in less than a minute or last as long as thirty minutes.

If you think this game is too easy at first blush,  wait 
till you win 3 out of 5 games in the following scenario!

	Expert level, Large Square or Circle board,  1 
human player,  4 total players.   GOOD LUCK!
