Keep a cool head! is a simple strategy board game for 2, 3, or 4 players based on the famous "Ludo" or "Mensch ?rgere dich nicht".

You can also play against the computer. Graphics and sounds can be changed; the look of the game is fully configurable.

Usage:

After you startet the game the first time you have to enter at least two players under "Settings --> Players".

As long as a player has no figure on the board the computer throws the dice three times. If there was a six among this a figure will be set to the start. And the player is allowed to throw the dice once more.

When the message "Click on figure" appears then do it.

If you throw another 6 you will be asked if you want to start with another figure as long as you havent startet all figures. After starting with another figure you have to leave the startfield immediatly.

The grafics of the game are completly costumizeable. Look in the directory "gfx".
