Description

Zarathustra is a completely original strategy game for 2-4 players 
who attempt to dominate the playing field with specially-designed 
tiles marked with swords and shields.  Swords attack other tiles, 
and shields protect tiles from others' attacks.  But watch out -- 
your shields could protect other players' tiles, and your swords 
could destroy your own tiles.  This isn't Mahjongg, folks.  
It's war.  ...and watch out for the skull!  

Zarathustra is shareware, which means that you are licensed to use 
the program for a period of 30 days, after which you must either 
register the program or remove it from your hard drive.  After all, 
I did invent the game in the first place as well as do all the 
programming.  The least you could do is to send money.  Use the 
included REGISTER.EXE program to make registering easy and to use 
credit cards for payment.
