Mark, The example in the rule sheet is for a game board where n=4. Do you have a sense of the level of challenge for a board this size or was it mainly used...
Hi Greg, I always recommend using a much larger board than the space saving size I use in the rule sheet. This'll facilitate a richer game and reduce the...
For Mark Steere Hi, i just had a look on super duper and saw Tanbo - it looks interesting. I'll give it a go Shinermons mark_steere <mark_steere@...>...
Hi Shinermons, Thank you. Tanbo has a magnificent architecture. A a small percentage of people are fanatical about playing it. It's my most well known game...
... Mark, I am looking to get around eventually having IAGO/IAGO World Tour champions at these games (as situation fits) for these games. Will depend on the...
As some of you may recall, I released a game called Rush in May of 2007. I had offered the exclusive right to program Rush to one particular game site, the...
Mark, Well there may be a silver lining (although perhaps a minor one) in all of this. When I first read the rules to Rush I thought it would be a good test...
Mark, I have a suggestion for a revised "Object of the Game" current: OBJECT OF THE GAME When the board is completely filled with stones, the player with the ...
... I could be wrong about that, but I meant the restriction about programming the game, not the rules themselves. "mark_steere" <mark_steere@...> Sent...
Your description is technically more accurate, and programmers are advised to take that approach. When one player has claimed more than half of the cells, the...
Oh, right. Yeah, I removed the restriction that only a certain game site could program Rush, I notified said game site that their exclusive right to program...
Is there a level of organization of pieces in a board game complex enough to force that game out of the category of "abstract strategy boardgame" and into the...
Why wouldn't it be an abstract strategy game? The anchor point for an abstract strategy game, by IAGO standards, is 2 player combinatorial game theory games....
curious; I have seen alot of games and mine are by far the best. Is this arrogance? I really am brilliant! Bye all, it has been fun. Shinermons Games has now...
Hey, Rich, the question I have concerns what the abstract-at-base rules give you in higher-level terms. Is there a point that, when passed, takes you out of...
... This is what dictionary.com says on it: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/abstract The more you try to model something in reality, to be more...
What I'm trying to do is, in some ways, mimic aspects of behaviors exhibited in military encounters, or explore behaviors of tiny one-celled imaginary...
... I think one thing to consider is, can you take a general principle you are looking to examine and generalize it out into a timeless and universal abstract...
I've added Volcano to the games at Boardspace.net, including a novel variant played on a hex grid. http://boardspace.net/english/about_volcano.html If you...
... Dave, bear with me on this question: Is Volcano 2 player only on your site? I just wanted to confirm, because I am under the impression you only do two...
