Playing Pacru using the software

You can play with someone else (sitting next to you), or as a beginner pit your wits against the program (an excellent way to learn), and now you can play across the Internet. (This version works with Internet Explorer 6 (and 5.5) on Windows.)

Internet game available

You can now play Pacru over the Internet with people you know anywhere in the world, or players already on-line at the site
The software is developing, so if you have any suggestions for improvements, please send an email to infopacru.com.
We are working on providing a community facility for Pacru players to meet and arrange to play. This will be available soon. Temporarily we are using a Yahoo Pacru group as a way of letting players arrange games with strangers (it works as a mailing list so that you will get email from anyone who wants to play). For this you have to sign up to yahoo and join the pacru group, both of which are fairly straightforward. We will probably use another way of doing this shortly as we do not like the advertising on messages via Yahoo but we wanted to get a quick and established way of getting across-the-net play going.


Test edition of Shacru software. With the "prompts" and "show possible moves" boxes ticked, Shacru can be played without even reading the rules first. Don't try this game if it would upset you in the unlikely event that the software doesn't work or fails near the end of a game! Known faults:
1) if get 42 tiles game ends ... should continue to max
2) game log is Pacru style and game replay doesn't work

Test edition of Azacru software - don't use if it would upset you in the unlikely event that the software doesn't work or fails near the end of a game! Known faults:
1) if get 42 tiles game ends ... should continue to max
2) game log is Pacru style and game replay doesn't work
3) when do a connection change across opponent tiles the piece is removed from the board as it should be ... but might be helpful if it didn't just immediately disappear but flashed once before doing so!
4) at end of game the result is announced but the prompt (only) then suggests further play is possible
