Lux: A game, an addiction, a way of life...

Lux comes with a free 20 game trial period.

By the end of the 20th game, most will find themselves *hopelessly addicted* ... Single person play (Just you VS the bots/AIs running on your Mac) is great, but the best part is the online play with those who will become (since you'll be *hopelessly addicted*) your fellow Luxers. There are many great people playing everyday that will welcome even more kind, polite, mature people that can't wait to try to take over the world. Pull up a seat, and enjoy!

Classic Risk style map is the most played it seems, tho there are other great maps that when you have paid, you'll have to play and play again... (The WWII Tanks Maps are some of my personal favs) AIs developed by fellow Luxers, like Nefarious AKA "Nef", and a few names I shouldn't post here, add even more to the gameplay.

Lux also allows you to "roll-your-own" maps and bots/AIs... There are more maps that have been created by other Luxers ... counting... over 200...

Try it, you'll love it, you'll be *hopelessly addicted*
