New MSG Game: Triple Y

[Mark Steere]

The Y principle works perfectly well on any board shape, not just the triangle and the hexagon. The three perimeter delineating cells need not be vertices. And said delineator cells need not be spaced equidistantly. The three delineator cells could be any three perimeter cells separated by at least one perimeter cell respectively.

For example, on a base 7 hexagon, select five contiguous, non-vertex perimeter cells, labeling them 1 through 5 consecutively. Call cells 1, 3, and 5 delineator cells. Call cells 2 and 4 sides. And call all the remaining perimeter cells the third side. This arrangement of delineator cells and sides would be perfectly suitable for Y play.

For Triple Y, a hexagonal board is used. Label any vertex with a 1 and, proceeding around the perimeter either clockwise or counter-clockwise, label the remaining five vertices 2 through 6 consecutively. Three sets of delineator cells are used to define three distinct games of Y: Vertices 1, 2, 3; vertices 3, 4, 5; and vertices 5, 6, 1.

The three games of Y so defined are played simultaneously. The object is to win at least two of them.

Design Notes

As with Redstone, I thought of Triple Y while driving home at night after a vigorous but very relaxing 2 hour massage from a young, ape strong Chinese lady. It really clears the cobwebs.

Thanks for the advice.

No, it's not a nicer game. It's the exact same game, genius.

My mistake. I withdraw Triple Y and fully credit Greg van Patten for having invented it first.

You're welcome. Now start following it, Luis The Mangy.

Interesting. One thought thought though. The great weakness of Y is that the center cells are so much more important than those on the perimeter that play is very restricted, and the meaningful branch factor is low unless playing an a humongous board.

With 3 simultaneous games of Y going on, I believe the center-periphery imbalance would be exaggerated even more.

I know it's the exact same game. That's why I said Trilithon is a nicer "name", not "game".

My bad. Just woke up. You're still a greedy Spaniard.

You are really arrogant Markrappy!
So you are going to credit Greg Van Patten for daring inventing a crappy game first!!!???
Who are you?
NOT OF YOUR GAME IS ORIGINAL.
ALL ARE COPY-PASTED GAMES.
ALL ARE CRAPPY GAMES!!!
YOU AND CHRISTIAN FREELING CREATED WORDS MEANINGLESS LIKE ORGANIC AND QUINTESSENTIAL TO COVER YOUR INCOMPETENCY.
