Terse Summary of the Rules:
The goal of the game is to survive as long as possible. Each turn the
Daleks mindlessly converge on you. Colliding Daleks are destroyed
forming a trash pile which destroys other Daleks that run into it.
Your Options:
- Move to any adjacent square or stand still. Do this by tapping on the
screen in the direction you wish to move (on you to stand still).
- Use a sonic screwdriver to kill all the Daleks adjacent to you. You
receive one sonic screwdriver per round and you accumulate unused ones.
- Teleport to a random spot on the board. You may teleport as often as
you want, but it is risky. If you teleport next to a Dalek you die.
- Make a last stand. This means you elect to stay in the same spot until
the round is resolved one way or the other.
- Undo is implemented so you can back out of stupid mistakes. You can't
undo a teleport.
