Leong
Luck also plays a part in this game, because hidden on the board, similar to Minesweeper, are many pitfalls. If one of your pieces lands on a pitfall, it dies, leaving only an X to mark the spot. Therefore, Leong actually requires some careful planning as well as luck: do you attempt to make a straight line to the goal, or do you hedge your bets by sending out groups of 2-4 pieces in different directions? Since the layout of pitfalls differs from game to game - they are randomly placed - no two games of Leong will be alike. If you enjoy one-person board game, check out this interesting underdog. Ultimately, though, it does not have as much originality as BSX's other games, nor does it offer enough gameplay variety for puzzle fans. Too bad.
Note: like other BSX games I reviewed, this is actually marketed as "shareware" but since the registered version is identical to the shareware one (except for the absence of "nag screen"), I have labelled it freeware here.
