Web page for Deductoid:

Other deductoid thread and announcement:



I'm getting the hang of it and I like it a lot.  :up: :up:
It's fun to discover the rules and strategies, so if you struggle to figure out how to play, don't give up, you'll figure it out.  Don't forget to read the guide if you get stuck.

Mouser's right - each clue gives you a lot more information than you may initially think - and removing one extra tile from the board opens up a new opportunity for using at least one of the clues in a new way to make your next step.

This damn game snuck into my brain.. I warn you if you are a puzzle person, don't play it unless you can afford to get addicted.

Anyone installed it under Vista yet?

Since I'd really like to know for sure if it works. I got an award from "VistaFiles" but I'd prefer to hear it from someone first hand.

Thanks!

... whether anyone has installed and run it under Vista yet. Sorry, I relied on the subject line. Lazy posting.  :-[

timns: most of time, those "awards" are really only the sites trying to get the link back from your site to theirs, and they really haven't tested the software.

Unfortunately, i can't help you with testing under vista :(
