Has anyone seen the offer on 2 liter bottles of
7-UP for a game called SPOT The Video Game?
They want $24.99 and labels from 4 2 liter bottles
of 7-UP for it. I was wondering whether or not
it was the money?

My wife and I played it and loved it. The rules are simple but the game
is a challenge. Very fun. Too easy against the computer, but has a four
player option. Great family game. Great graphics too.

Rating out of 10.......I'd give it a 8.
Worth the $24.99 IMHO.

Much thanx. I'll have to dig the 4 empty 7-UP bottles
out of my recycling barrel tonight.

Spot is played on a 7-by-7 board. With four players, each starts with
one colored spot in a corner. With two players, each starts with two
spots, one in each of diagonally opposite corners. I haven't tried
with three players.
On each turn, a player may "move" any of their pieces in one of two
ways.
The first way is that the piece may move from its current location to
any of the 8 immediately adjacent positions. When this is done, a new
copy of the piece is made in the new position, and all opponent pieces
adjacent to the new piece change color, to the color of the player
whose turn it is.
The second way to move is to jump to any of the 16 positions that are
two spaces away -- diagonally, orthogonally, or a combination of both.
When this is done, the piece moves -- the old position is left empty.
However, all the opponent pieces adjacent to the new piece still change
color.
If a player can move, they must. If they have no legal move, their
turn is forfeit. The moves have cute animation sequences, which can be
turned off before the game is begun. Each player can be played by a
person or one of three computer levels.
Game position can change very rapidly, and players can be eliminated
from the game by changing all their pieces. The rapid changes caused
by the number of pieces that can change on a single game make the game
somewhat unpredictable -- it's hard to tell how much strategy there is
in the game. The computer players seem reasonably good, although not
perfect.
