I've updated the "game archive" and "Play Octi on-line" links to the new site created by Aaron. I got word from Funagain.com that they are going to put up the...

I don't understand the new design of Octi. I have made several trips to my local coffee shop with my friend Josh, where we unroll the Octi board and play some...
Hi, Frank. I don't disagree with your assessment, really. As the abstract game market disintegrates (in large part due to the disappearance of mom-and-pop...
This Saturday, follow the bot vs. bot competition on line (or look at the game archive). We'll be posting moves as they happen (allowing for a bit of running...
Hello Don....... Have the crowds been getting larger for this game? I think it's excellent and wish more people would play the game, especially super prong. I...
