About Zillions

The Zillions CD holds about one hundred games, 
and many more can be downloaded for free from the  Zillions of Games home page
(Or see Zillions Spiele - die deutsche Zillions Webseite ) 
New games are written now in Zillions all the time by people all around the world.. 

Zillions is also a game description language plus an engine that runs it (the engine is also on the CD). 
With this language you can describe the rules, the board, and the pieces of your game and the Zillions engine will facilitate the game between human players or take part in the playing as your sparring partner. 
You can also let the engine take both player's roles. 

It might be a good idea to buy the CD for your children in order to put some quality games onto their computer! 
And it is great fun for us grown-ups as well!
