... Hmmm. One issue I forsee with this idea is that it reduces the game to only one type of decision for one player (where to start the guards each round) and...
I agree with Clark. Having tried a couple of games myself, I find the lack of choice makes the "game" rather uninteresting even as a solitaire. The most...
Well, the two-player option was more of an afterthought (I noticed that the game setup used exactly half of the piecepack components and said "Hey, two can...
I went back and re-read things ... At this point, I don't really have anything to add beyond what the others have said. I did, however, confirm that my brain...

Hey gang, I've uploaded the first draft of a new piecepack game Rock-Paper-Scissors. The game is obviously inspired by the childhood classic by the same name....
I had a chance to play the game during my lunch break today. Overall, it's a neat game that fits the piecepack very nicely. It seems like a game that not only...
