Four players
may participate in teams of two. Turns are rotated among team members as
well as teams alternated. Players of the same team share the same color electrons.
Six-player Game
Each player chooses four tokens of one color. Each player should have a different colored
group of four tokens from one another. Before the game each player chooses a molecule on
either the top or bottom tier and covers the atoms with their tokens (electrons).
Play follows as in the two-player game with each player taking a turn. The object of the game
is to be the first player to get all of your electrons to the opposite molecule at the other end
(top or bottom) of the crystal (game board). Moves are of either a single path or a jump as in
the two-player rules.
Three players
may participate by each choosing four tokens as above in the six-player
version. Each starts on a molecule of the same tier (top or bottom) and races the others to the
opposite molecule on the other end of the crystal to be first to get all his/her electrons to the
destination and win. A variation of this is to have the destination be any atom on the other
end of the crystal from the starting tier.
