Webkinz Switcharoo?

[wed1121]

Anyone else see a game called Webkinz Switcharoo in the Tournament Area PVP ? I tried to play it but there were no directions posted and I did not know how to play it. I looked in the game section here and did not see it posted, anyone that has played it please let me know how.

Isn't it a board game available in the wshop? I know I've seen the game in the Gamz room in the clubhouse, but this is one game I don't know how to play. sorry.

I believe it is a webkinz take on Othello... Don't know for sure as it has been a very very long time since I seen anyone play othello.

The point of switcherooz is to turn as many of your players pieces into your colored pieces. ex if you are blue and they are pink you need to try to fill as much of your side of the board with your pieces. To do so click one of your colored pieces in the corners then click one of the spots directly touching the space where the piece is located. This should turn said piece into two pieces, continue on. If you click one of the lighter shaded pieces ex the second spot away from your piece the one you used will disappear and move to the spot you clciked which makes it harder to win. You need to click one piece then continue working your way out filling in the board, as you get closer to the opponents pieces you may put your piece closer to thier colors and it will turn thier pinks into blues. Trying to have more of your color dominating the board. Does this make sense...?? If you are really unsure of playing you can get the game in the w shop and practice in your room til you are confident enough to play in the arena vs another player.

Maybe a mod can post these instructions/tips in the game forum...???

Okay. I'll try and clarify a bit.

Purpose: Capture as many zingoz of your color as you can.
How?:

Click on of your zingoz and if you click the one that is closer, it will make a duplicate of your zingo.
If you click on the farther one it will transport your zingo to the space.

Once your zingo has moved it will transform any of your opponents zingoz in a 1x1 or 2x2 space (I'm not sure of the distance) into YOUR Color zingoz.

The object is to dominate the field with YOUR color and hope you have more zingoz by the time that the board is completely covered.
