We'll play an on-line tourney for 1 base on the weekend of 10/19 (starting Friday night) and for 3 bases on the weekend of 11/16. Winners will receive a wooden...
Hi. I don't have the current sales figs for this year, but here's what I do know. There have been three printings of Octi and three printings of Octi for Kids....
If you're just joining us or polishing your game, you might want to check out the archive of on-line games (courtesy of AaronA). <br><br>Here are two great ...

When Octi is played for 1 base, it is possible to construct draw positions when players are down to one pod each. But what about when players have their full ...
Aaron's new and improved OFK robot is up and running, as of this morning. The layout is now much more user-friendly.<br><br>Check it out, and make suggestions...
The only draws I've been able to construct are for situations in which both plays have just one pod. <br><br>With Black moving first: <br><br>black at ...
Further thoughts on stalemates. <br><br>Just because it is difficult to construct a stalemate with 2-3 pods does not rule out the possibility of stalemates ...
Dean suggested a stalemate position for 1-base with a wraparound board. White has pods at 15,25,65,and 75. Black has pods at 35,45,85 and 95. If all of the...
World on-line Octi championship (the fast game, where the first player to capture 1 enemy base wins) will take place via www.octi.net on Friday Oct 19th at ...
I think the stalemate works with fewer prongs when the line-up of alternating pairs is along the side of the board and two squares away from a target on one...
In my game against Hal (10:36PM October 15, 2001 - HAL9000 gogreen), I clearly made a blunder on move 36, and Hal killed me off with his usual flair. (See <a...
I think this could be an interesting variant. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone in my local area with enough Octi experience to play it against, and you can't...
Brian, some questions about warp octi, an idea that is as creative as it is mindbending. Am I correct that warping affects both friendly and enemy pods? What...
Yes, warping would affect both friendly and enemy pods. The warp pod could be used to launch other pods into enemy territory, or to thwart an enemy ...
See you tonight around 8:30 for an on-line tournament of Octi (fast game, for one base). If you're not familiar with the on-line site, just follow the "play ...
Tak's nimble defense trapped Octimon in game 1 of their first round match, and Tak won easily over Octimon's late-developing offense in game 2.<br><br>Hal, ...
In a wild see-saw battle, Tak prevailed against Hal to win game 2. That gives Tak 3 points, Hal 1 point, and Octimon 0. <br><br>Next comes the pair of games...
Dean (tak) won the on-line championship in the one-base game, as Don (octimon) scored his first point by defeating Charles (hal) in game 1 of their match last ...
Ok, I'm up to 29 puzzles for the 1-base game. I'm thinking of a few more, which I hope to post by the end of the weekend. (I'm out of town for a few ...
I don't know if any of you were having trouble with the OFK robot at www.octi.net, but I sure was. Now, the problem of having to click repeatedly in order to...
Over the weekend, I experimented with Aaron's robot (see www.octi.net) to see who would win at 10 ply (its highest setting). As expected, both sides ran out of...
Hi all,<br><br>I've put together a rudimentary computer OCTI site. It's under links, and at<br><br> <a href=http://eksl.cs.umass.edu/~casutton/octi/...
