Nanowar: Invade Consume Replicate Expand


Nanowar is an interesting little game where you play  a microscopic game of war, using cells as territory.  You capture cells and then use them as factories to produce more attack cells to take over neutral and enemy cells.  The problem is, the enemy is doing the same thing, and each click on a cell or group of cells sends half of your cells over. 

Generally, it's a pretty easy game, as the more cells you take over, the easier it is to take over isolated cells.  Still, there's a degree of evil satisfaction when you end up with only one red cell left, and you click on all your cells to send a fleet of invading attack cells.

I think the next time I get a bad cold I will play this game, and think of viruses and antibodies.  It'll be comforting.
