An entertaining twist on an old board game

Anyone who was around when the Nintendo was new can remember the 7-Up spot. The "mascot" for 7-Up, featured in all the commercials for a few years. This game features that character, but not in the sense you'd think.
The gameplay is very simple, easy to learn, but difficult to master. If you've ever played Othello, it's very similar. The idea is to cover the board entirely with your color "Spot"s. You can clone spots into a square adjacent them, or you can jump them a few squares. When you place a spot next to an opponent's, the adjacent spots will change to match your color. That's where the fun and challenge come in.
The strategy game itself is good for hours of play against friends or the computer, with variations allowing up to 4 human or computer players, and varying skill levels for the computer. But the best part is the entertaining antics of the spots. Every possible move has a unique animation to it, and they are wonderfully done, and a joy to watch. These can be turned off if you like, but why would you?
I recommend this game to anyone who likes a good strategy game, at least so you can gloat over your friends when you humiliate them with it. :)
