... Sorry for being too imprecise: set "sequential" for "normal" ; Ricochet Robot *is* a game of perfect information. Mark, do you think that simultaneous...
I received today two more defamatory mails from Mark Steere which were sent thru this group to my private e-mail account. Yahoo!Germany and Yahoo!USA have...
Hi Martin, ... Yes I think the contract phase of Unlur helps address any inherent first move advantage. The board positions that develop during the contract...
... No problem. I like precision, so I don't give a negative connotation to nitpicking. Star and *Star (pronunced "starstar") are actually two (slightly)...
I'm not sure what to make of simultaneous games. The first one I found out about was "Pulling Strings" by Clark Rodeffer. Certainly original, interesting,...
... There seem to be at least two different kinds of simultaneous games: 1) games, where you decide the move of pieces of your own, and 2) games (like Ricochet...
Last week I invented a new abstract-strategy stacking game called Pylon. It uses Icehouse pyramids and a 5x6 board. It's heavily influenced by Dvonn, but I...
I thought of a possible Pente variant the other day, which I think would probably be playable and would probably reduce the first player advantage. My working...
Hello, I did a little bit of research in Byte, the new stacking game invented by Mark Steere. The results were quite unexpected. I analysed endgames of eight...
Thank you for looking into Byte, Ralf. I for one am interested to see your results. There is no need for "true-stacking-games" however since we already have...
Mark, you're banned anyway as you continue to send me harrassing e- mails (average: two or three hate mails per day). BTW, the discussion in stacking-games has...
Simple rules/simplicity rules. I'll give it a try, thanks for sharing! Besides Dvonn and Clan I think you have to add Avalam Bitaka by Philippe Deweys,...
... I've heard of it, but haven't seen the rules. I haven't even read the rules for Sid Sackson's Focus/Domination yet, though I do own a copy. I should pull...
... I've uploaded the rules to BGG (with permission from Greg): http://boardgamegeek.com/game/3660 They should show up in the Files section in the next day or...
... There is a similar idea at Chris Huntoon's Campaign http://www.di.fc.ul.pt/~jpn/gv/campaign.htm (there's also a zillions ZRF to play this game) João...
Another twist on "Knight Pente". If I recall correctly, the original message about the topic, on this yahoogroup, was posted a few days ago by someone using...
... Thanks, I don't remember having seen that game. It's similar in some ways, but I think the playing experience would be quite different. Mark Thompson...
Hi, after some time of playtesting I feel comfortable now with my new game "Abande" I'm proudly introducing here. It's quite original and - as always - there...
... Yes, I suppose so. Only the idea is similar, the games are different. Anyway, you should have a rule to deal with stalemate positions where there is no...
With the hexagonal patterned, hexagonally shaped board, the first player to move can claim the center spot. Even if it's not a problem among beginners, it may...
... I don't think the center position is especially strong in Abande. Apart from that, there's an orthogonal variant in the making which is simply a...
Responding to a message posted in true-stacking-games entitled, "What Byte has in common with Yinsh" by Ralf Gering. (I intended to cross post to both groups...
