ITÕS TIME FOR A PARTYÉ
INTRODUCTION
It’s a Worms World Party and everyone's invited!
It's a Quarterpounder of a game with some meaty multiplayer action, a healthy salad of single player and a flap of amusing cheese topped up with a generous amount of strategy ketchup. We've more weapons than drinks ranging from the relatively alcohol free bazooka to the superstrength donkey.
Worms World Party is our latest turn based gift in which Worms battle across zany landscapes either custom or randomly generated. With Worms already having a reputation for being a party animal, there is just no reason not to come.
You can also do battle online so if you can't make it to the party you can always join the fun via the Worms network. There's just no need to be on your own tonight, you can even chill out after a game and chat in one of the lobbies.
Our DJ informs us his record box is just bursting with single player missions and there are dozens of custom landscapes that can be requested and played at anytime.
If you're new to the party scene don't worry, our friendly training section will soon have you dancing with the rest of us. There's even a weapons library available if you don't know the steps.
So ladies and gentlemen, let's gather round and toast our glasses to a Worms World Party!

OVERVIEW
Worms World Party is a turn based strategy game, where teams battle across crazy, randomly generated landscapes or finely crafted custom levels.
Each team takes it in turns to pick off the enemy teams, using the many crazy weapons, tools and utilities they have or have found to inflict whatever dastardly strategies they can envision.
Worms will die when they lose all of their energy or drown in the murky depths. The winning team is the one that manages to survive the mayhem and have Worms left standing!
