Valvo is a strategy game for two players. It combines simple rules with remarkably subtle tactical possibilities. Valvo is a race game in which tactical thinking is complicated by an element of chance, much as in Backgammon. But Valvo is so much easier than Backgammon, both to learn and play, that you will master the rules in about two minutes. You can play Valvo against a fellow human, or against the computer, which has 6 difficulty levels that range from easy to very challenging.

Venables is an abstract two-player strategy game with a special twist: instead of moving your pieces yourself, you control them indirectly by means of a cursor on an auxiliary board where the squares have icons specifying the moves you will make on the main board. Other unusual features of Venables are that you can make more than one move on the same turn, and capture more than one piece in a single move. Despite its novel features, Venables is easy to learn, and the computer itself provides a patient opponent while you're getting used to the game.
