The program can be installed from magmic's download page-just follow the same instalation instructions as texas hold 'Em King 2.
start playing
like magmic's texas hold em king 2, this program comes with a sevent-day trial. after the sevent days have elapsed, you can purchase a key at magmic's web site for $9.95.to play an offline game against the al that's built into the software , choose new game from the main menu. the create new game window appears, and you can choose from varioussetting for your game. you can select the game mode (players vs CPU or players vs players), piece color, your opponent's skill level, and the piece set and board type.
the option for the difficulty of the game range from beginner (king arthur) to very hard (will the conqueror) all the way to master (genghis kahn). the beginner level, as you'd expect, is quite easy to beat- although it didn't take long for the master level to dash my hopes of glory!
use your trackwheel to scroll betwen setting and enter key (or click the trackwheel) to toggle between the values for a particular setting. when you're ready to play, scroll down to begin game and plan your attack!
once the game begins, your pieces will be on the bottom and yor opponents will be on the top. the clever controls make this game surprisingly simple to move your pieces. when it's your tur to move, use the trackweel to scroll between your pieces and use the enter key ( or click trakwhell) to select one to move .the pieces will be higlighted, indicating it is selected. when a pieces is selected, the trackwheel is then used to scroll between all the possible move it is able to make, given the position of the other pieces on the board. i've selected the knight in position B1 and am using the tracweel to toggle between the possible moves.
online play
magmic has built some excelent online features the game. you can play a random online opponent or set up aprivate game with a pasword so you can coordinate a game with a friend. you can also upload your record against the built-in al to magmic's online leader boards to compare againtst other players (http://www.magmic.com/commons.php?direct=highscores).
show the online menu you'll see after you log in with your magmic account and pasword. you can create an account in the game or on magmic's web site (http://www.magmic.com). you can join and play up yo 15 online account in the game or on magmic's website (http://www/magmic.com). you can join and play up to 15 online games simultaneously (i can't imagine anyone complaining that the number is too low). however, the game state is stored on magmic's game servers, so you can start a game that lasts for days and only make a couple moves a day as your time permits.
at the time of the writing of this book, the game has only recently been released and the online action is somewhat sporadic, so don't cancel your xbox live account just yet. i would expect this game to gain momentum quickly, given the online gaming features and the low price point.
