Maths to Win: Games of Strategy

Maths to Win: Games of Strategy is another stunning educational Maths CD-ROM from Greygum Software. The UK / European version has just been released by 4Mation who will exclusively publish and support the software throughout the UK and Europe.

Fifteen Challenging Maths Games of Strategy.
In each of the games victory comes only with a sound understanding of the winning strategy. To win, you must decide the order of play and then follow a winning strategy without error. Analysing the position can be anything from very easy, as in the earlier games, to very complex in the later ones.

Lots of Levels and Hints!
The games are arranged in order of difficulty. Whilst the winning strategy for the easiest games will be quickly discovered, the hardest games will take a lot longer. Each game has four levels, each level has a range of random starting positions. On-screen hints are available for all games. The lowest level of hints may just indicate whether the computer thinks it will win or not. Full hints describe the winning strategy. Intermediate hints help you to find the winning strategy. Each hint can be turned on or off, or they can be made available only via a password.
