Game that needs work: Werd
|
| |
I posted this in Leroy Quet's most recent thread, but then I decided to give it's own entry to solicit some help. I've been on a two year quest to design a perfect information (or as near as possible to perfect information) word game that doesn't stink. This has turned out to be a phenomenally difficult task, much harder for me that the... more »

Procession -- Game
|
| |
This is a game for any plural number of players. Needed: piece of paper and a pen/pencil. Start by writing a row of n 0's on the piece of paper. (n is a positive integer decided beforehand by the players. I suggest an n between 5 and 10 for a 2 person game. Slightly more for more players.) After writing the row of n 0's, write the value of n to the right of... more »

New game: lumibulb
|
| |
Hi all, I finally decided to switch from being a reader to being a writer. Truly, I am not a game designer. The only game I designed (http:// [link]) was more like a "test-of- the-pen". "Lumibulb" (a draft-name) is more like a conceptual game (although it's rules are not that abstract) based on the electricity laws (Ohm... more »

New MSG Game: Hex Hex Y
|
| |
Hex Hex Y: [link] Hex Hex Y is the long sought "Y adapted to a hex hex board". Maybe I cheated a little by coloring the sides. :D In February, 2008 I released a similar game called Starboard Y that turned out to be equivalent to Y. Hopefully Hex Hex Y won't have that problem (or any... more »

A little question about Unlur
|
| |
Hi all, Yesterday, when I was skimming through Cameron Browne's impressive book "Connection Games: Variations on a Theme", I came across the Unlur rules, which I thought I knew well, and was amazed to (re) discover that a player loses if he makes the opponent's winning connection with his own pieces. As Browne notes, this implies that... more »

(Probably not a) New game: Yex
|
| |
I'm probably not the first person to suggest this, but, going on with the discussion on the HEXA-Y problem... YEX Yex is a two player connection game played on a hex-hex board. Before starting the game, three non-consecutive corner cells (A, C and E, for instance) are marked in some way, thus dividing the board perimeter... more »
