Letter Crunch

Letter Crunch is a strategy game for one or two players.

Players take turns firing from the left at a 9 x 10 grid of letters containing the characters A - F. The player chooses to shoot from rows 1 - 9, and depending upon the letter hit, the player gets a certain number of the surrounding letters. For instance the letter A only awards that letter, while the letter F awards points for the letter hit and the letters above and below. Each letter is worth 1 point, and there are also bonus and penalty squares worth positive or negative 5 points. The goal is to maximize score, while forcing the opponent to take low value shots. There is a computer opponent available.
