Hi,

My name is Ray Li, and I am a 16-year-old high school student. For a
class in Critical Thinking, we are required to complete a semester-
long, independent-study project. For my project, I chose to finish and
market a board game which I have been working on for a while. The game
is called Lineage. It is a two-player, abstract strategy game.

My website is www.lineageboards.com. I would appreciate if you could
visit it and give me some feedback on what you think of the game and
the site.

Thanks

Same as uk.games.board. Come back when you've got a Website not a steaming
mass of Flash.

Looks OK

You might want a rule that after a piece has been forced, it can't immediately
be moved back to the spot it came from.

There are some orange curves at the edge of the board that look like they
should meet up. When you do an off-the-board move are you restricted to just
the line you are currently on - or are these separate but seemingly matching
segments considered connected.

cheers

There is an uk.games.board that is actually active? Must go and see
that discussion... holy cow, what a bunch of usenet cranks! How many
pages did you need to tell a sixteen-year old that using flash makes
you a Bad Person?

Ray Li: Come back whenever you like, and just killfile the old farts.

Hey, thanks for the comments people. Sorry I haven't checked back here
in a while.

The orange curves at the edge of the board are not connected. As it
states in my instructions, you can only wrap around the board to the
other side of the same line.

I actually do have a rule which prevents the person from moving their
piece back to where it was forced from, but I forgot to include it
online. Thanks for letting me know.

Lol. Thanks, I've responded on the uk.games.board forums also.
