Hi Mark, I've taken the liberty to make dutch translations of the rules of Atoll and CrossWay at iGGC. <http://www.iggamecenter.com/info/nl/atoll.html> ...
In Harlequin Checkers pieces move diagonally but capture orthogonally. This is an attempt to create the "best of both worlds" - the forced progression of the...
... Excellent! Thank you. Abstract games are essentially international - provided of course that someone translates them. I know Arty is striving to make his...
Tyr grew from my dissatisfaction with Hasami-Shogi. The "5 in-a-row" version tends to be too short. And the "War" version tends to be too long. So I sat...
Here are two new games. Sphinx is a Konane like game because of its patchwork layout and every move must be a capture. It's peculiar movement comes from the...
The 4th annual Cannon tournament sponsoered by Blue Panther LLC has concluded with Antoine Richard of Canada taking second place and Ola Mikael Hansson of...
The idea of this game was to take the basic concept of Alex Randolph's "Ricochet Robots" and to turn it into more of a direct battle. The rules for it can be...
It reminds me of Sid Sackson's "Network". -- Greg "hartunga66" <hartunga66@...> Sent by: abstractgames@yahoogroups.com 05/16/2009 02:02 PM Please respond...
This is a new game of stalemate that makes use of the Immobilizer from Ultima. Previously, I had created another game of stalemate called "Gorgon." That was...
hi, I am new here ... I created a game that no other game (maybe GO) can beat in regard of its complexity and excitements ... it's called Massacre Chess and is...
A BRIEF HISTORY OF WAR & GAMES Up until modern times, warfare consisted mostly of close quarter combat. True, there were long ranged weapons, such as the bow...
... It is also the first time I heard about that specific game. There is a similar game played by me and Bill Taylor that uses Go rules and its goal is to...
... What I found interesting is Cameron Browne's Ludi also created Pentalath, which looks like it has similar rules and objectives, but is on a hex shaped...
I put this up on the ChessVariants.org website and could use some feedback: http://www.chessvariants.org/index/msdisplay.php?itemid=MSdualringtourna ...
New game: 420 http://www.marksteeregames.com/420_rules.pdf 420 is the elusive "Game of X", a generalization of Y in which three players try to connect the four...
I gave the Mark Steere Games website a major overhaul. The previous layout was sufficient back when I only had three games on two game sites. Now it isn't....
... Not so, if red takes corners 1, 2 and 3 as the first three moves, and green takes corner 4, and all other moves are randomly in the center, Red has 3,...
... Ok, but I don't think it would really be that hard to prove. In the scenario you described, the game is still wide open. Any one of the three players...
The "typo" has now been corrected. http://www.marksteeregames.com/420_rules.pdf Originally I had called the game "X". The object was to get the "maximum...
