I have been playing some email and face2face games and I think Jade is in a very good position to be a remarkable game. Based on my small amount of games so...
... Interesting! Paul van Wamelen and Cameron Browne found a position (a variant line in one of their games) where neither player could play either color in...
Mark, I too think Jade sounds like an excellent game. If you (and Larry, and any others) are able to come to Ann Arbor for this year's U*Con Abstract Games...
Hey Clark I would be happy to test Proton if you want to send me the beta. Dralius ... and any others) are able to come to Ann Arbor for this year's U*Con ...
Hi Clark, ... I haven't tried it except on the 11x11, which is the standard size in the new Richard's PBeM implementation. In my closet I have a wooden 11x11...
Jade needs a rule tweak, because as it stands one of the players has a simple winning strategy. I'm consulting with Cameron on the best way to fix it and will...
... This is far from a proof... more like an idea. Haven't done any game theory for decades, and my brain has gotten holistic and sloppy. But here's a try: ...
About removing Jade winning strategy and potential unbalance between victories of crosses and parallels, I would suggest the always basic and very often...
... Ha! Thought I'd tried all the symmetries, guess I should have broken out some physical stones and tried it. Nice! JPN's fix sounds interesting, as does...
OK i need a tactic for chess. I am not very good at the game at all and I need to learn how to actually...oh let's go out on a limb and say....WIN! Any ideas?...
... I suggest that you study Lasker's "Book of Chess Strategy". You can find an on-line copy here: http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext04/chsst10.txt A Chess...
Hi, I made a webpage at the World of Abstract Games (WAG), where I present a simple game system to play almost all board games posted on WAG You can check it...
Hello, I am currently compiling a book on connection games. This will be a survey of the genre, studying key games in detail while exploring common themes and...
The rules to my new game are now posted on http://www.gamerz.net/pbmserv/lazo.html This game is still going through alpha testing on PBMserv; it doesn't work...
Hi I have been discussing and playing 3 player games with Cameron Browne and Bill Taylor, and I wonder if some of you know any good 3 player games that prevent...
Actually, lazo is a common word- in Spanish. It means "loop" or "lasso" which is close enough for me. No offense, Peter, but Loop is - ah - a bit geeky. This...
Hi William, Glad to hear that you're interested. I'll be accepting submissions for quite a while yet :) I hope to have a draft of the book completed around...
Area of interest... I haven't met a connection game I didn't like :-) beginning with Go -- do you plan to mention Go in your book? I have ended up reading...
Hi Joao. Having two kids who love games and a wife who doesn't, I also yearn for the proverbial 3-player. Do you like Triton aka Shoulder to Shoulder?...
Excuse me while a do a little self-promotion. Try Rigellan Sii-od. There's a Zillion implementation at their website. It's a three-player chess-type game...
In my searches for board games to include into the "World of Abstract Games", I came across with some games that may fit the criteria, but I only have partial...
I have the first two on your list, Barrier and Crosse, and can get you the rules over the weekend. I'm also very interested in any information about the...
