About the Game

Short Circuit, the game where players using Strategic Planning, Timing and Luck, accumulate and acquire energy. Software, and money, which, when used in conjunction with their computers, interact throughout the period of play to create an exciting climax where one player (or in the case of a Partnership Play, a pair) triumphs.

Although some players accumulate more rapidly than others, the game is designed to permit "out of luck" players the chance to recover and possibly win the game.

A number of strategies may be employed while playing. These strategies will become apparent to players as they experience the Challenge of Short Circuit!
