Game descrption:
Axilox is a two-player board game. The game board is a picture covered with 81 tiles; each tile has a number on it, dark or fair in color. The players, in turns, remove tiles; the first player removes a tile from the topmost row; the second player can only remove a tile from the same column as the tile just removed; the first player then can only remove the tile from the same row as that tile; and so on. Removing a tile with a fair number increases the player's score by the number, while removing a dark tile decreases the score.
The game ends once the entire board is cleared, or when a player cannot make a move. The player with the higher score is the winner.
The one-player game involves the human player competing with a computer opponent, trying to keep winning throughout 10 levels with 5 different pictures. The two-player game is a single match.
What I think:
A fun game with an AI thatis actually quite smart....unless you find a way to outplay the AI, then it isn't so smart anymore.
