Worms/Dark Side

Dark Side Play is a defensive strategy one can use while playing Worms

The Dark Side strategy is normally the last resort of a player who has lost all but one of his worms, although it can be used from the very start of a game to great effect.

Dark side play involves the use of tools such as the Pneumatic Drill, Blow Torch and Girder to effectively burrow a worm deep inside the landscape away from harm. From this point an elaborate Vietnam style system of tunnels and shafts can be fashioned with chambers blown using Dynamite?.

Games involving Dark Side play on both sides can last much longer than regular games. Dark Side is the strategy of choice for some players while others may consider it tantamount to cheating.
