- board-size (small, medium or large), no. of game-pieces
- (1,2,3 or 4), play-level (novice, intermediate or
- expert). Other options include animation speed, color
- of game pieces and tracks.
-
- The ease and rapidity of playing VoRTeX ranges from that
- of Tic-Tac-Toe to a chess game. Depending on
- the options that you choose a game of VoRTeX can be over
- in less than a minute or last as long as thirty minutes.
-
- If you think this game is too easy at first blush, wait
- till you win 3 out of 5 games in the following scenario!
