You have not broken the cycle.
Playing pool tonight isn't going to be easy; it feels like it's your turn over and over and over again! Your friends Ines and Nick would rather flirt with each other, which makes you feel awful.
That's nothing compared to how you'll feel when an SUV bursts through the front window. How can you stop it? Only by scouring this pool hall for information, one move at a time, and setting up the perfect shot.
Rematch won Best Individual Puzzle in the 2000 XYZZY Awards for Best IF.
How to Get into the Game
The latest version of Rematch is 1.0.4, which can be downloaded as a binhexed file (Rematch.sit.hqx) for Macintosh users or a zipped file (Rematch.zip) file for PC, Unix, and other users.
Rematch is a game written in TADS. If you are not already familiar with how to play text adventure games, see this tutorial on downloading and running text adventures, from BrassLantern.org. You will need a TADS interpreter to run Small World, and the tutorial will explain how to get the correct interpreter for your system, if available.
