Instructions:

The game is simple to play but hard to win.

Here are the rules

  • You start first.
  • Your objective is to leave your opponent holding the last pearl.
  • On your turn touch the pearls to take as many as you like from any one of the three rows.
  • When you have taken all the pearls you want, touch "GO".
  • Once you have been beaten (and you will be beaten), touch "NEW" to try again.

Platform Requirement:

  • Pearls Before Swine requires iPad,iPhone or iPod touch running a minimum of iOS 3.1.2

Game Tips:

  • If you can get your opponent into a position where there are just 2 rows of equal length you will beat them. Just even up the rows on your turn until it is possible to leave your opponent with the last pearl.
  • 3,2,1 is another good pattern to aim for. If you can get your opponent into that postion then you should be able to beat them.

But I am about to go crazy - Can it be beaten? Is it posible to win at all?
All I need is a Yes or No, as im loosing my mind. :-)
Thanks for a fun place to go.

Can the Pearls Before Swine games be won? Our great-grandmother is driving us crazy! She's determined to win and she never does! Is it possible to win? It'll be our little secret, ok? Oh, by the way, even though our great-grandmother is driving us crazy with trying to win "Pearls" we must tell you...excellent animation, art, and audio. What is the dude's name? We believe we've met him in a bar at one time or another. Hope to see more of your work. Until then...we continue to try and win...as are many of our friends. Cheers

kevin and julie,
P.S. just a hint??????
