Up For Grabs

The game Up For Grabs is a strategy game for two or more players.

Once the game has loaded, it will ask you if you wish to load a saved game. If you do not have a previously saved game, answer 'No' to this.

On selecting the number of players, you may then enter either your names or use names that are provided within the program, and enter whether a player is Male or Female.

The display speed menu refers to the length of time you have to make a move. Key Only will wait until a key is pressed, very fast - about six seconds, through to slow which will wait about twenty seconds.

To win the game, you must be at Lumbago Seaport before the other players with the required amount of money.

You are now in the game. Pressing 1 on the status screen will return you to the control screen where you may change the display speed, start a new game, save the game position, continue the game or reset the computer.

In the game, the players take it in turns to move, sell, buy, discard or hinder.

Selecting 'Travel' will display a map showing all locations that may be travelled to on that move.

'Buy' will allow you to buy objects that you can trade or use as transport.

'Sell' will allow you to sell objects, ideally to make a profit.

'Discard' will allow you to drop objects.

'Hinder' will allow you to perform actions (usually destructive) that will slow the other players.

There are a number of other options that will appear where appropriate in the game.

Like any true adventurer, the rest is for you to discover, and always remember, in this game, everything is 'Up for Grabs'.
