that seems like a twist on battleboats Daniel. I also have a variant on BB that seems to be avoiding Fencer's attention or interest. It is Bonus Battleboats. You get one shot per turn. However if you get a hit on that turn the game would pass on your opponents turn and you would get another shot. You keep shooting until you get a miss. Of course to prevent cheating you would have to submit the move after each shot. However if you get the game would AUTOPASS your opponent it would still be your turn. I know this is ignored because Fencer doesnt want such type of autopass feature at brainking. however you are missing out on a fun version of battleboats.

Brian1971 - The only thing Fencer does not want an autopass for is Backgammon, and I don't think that is a reason why he does not want your version of the game (or to even say that he does or does not want your version of the game)

I have posted many versions of games, from battleboat variants to backgammon variants. Many others have also posted game idea, and many many variant ideas, so it would be impossible for Fencer to implement them all.

Also Fencer once said he would prefer to work on new games then work on variants of current games, but that's not saying he won't introduce new variants.

But lets start taking a vote from everyone, Fencer does look at these boards and if he see's enough interest in new game ideas, he may work on them.

  • Bonus Battleboats - One shot each turn, if you get a hit when you hit "submit this move", the game is back in your hands to make another move.

  • Outline Battleboats - A sort of "anti-battleboats" - goal is to outline the boats without hitting them. 5 hits and you lose. My question: What is an outline - just the 2 sides, and above - or the 4 corners also? And if it's near a side, you just need do the 3 sides?

  • HexBoats - Game is played on a hex/honeycomb type of board - So instead of a boat being about to be placed either up&down, or left&right - it will be able to be place 3 different ways.... making the game a little more interesting

  • Dark battleboats Plus - You start with 5 shots each, but you lose 1 for each of your ships that are sunk. Not only do you not see which ships you sunk, you DO NOT see your own board either! (This is to solve the problem of seeing your opponent shooting 4 shots and hence knowing you sunk a ship that way)

    Feel free to vote for any of those - those last 2 are ideas I have had for versions of the game also. Plus other ideas or comments about these versions will be welcomed also.

    I like all the battleboats version ideas. In my opinion, more options for the better. All game sites of the basic games that we have here but the more interesting and fun variants we can have on those games is what will intrigue new people to check out this website.

    I say, Super Battleboats...

    the boats can go diagonally too.. i wouldnt recommend this with regular battleboats, but it would be fun with battleboats plus...

    in the dark bb+ version it could also be so that you dont have to use all your available shots

    suppose your opponent has placed 3 shots in a row .. he can then think he sank your boat .. when you dont use all your available 5 shots (as it he only got 3 of the 4 spots of your 4-size boat) but only use 4 and pass on the 5th

    In dark battleboats both players get 3 shots per turn regardless of how many boats left.

    anti battleboats actually sounds like quite a fun game to play. I'd definately give it a go if it was to appear here.

    *nod* sounds great anf might even be quite fast :)

    (would this require 'autopass' between the moves ?)

    pauloaguia: An easy way to represent that variant you describe is to use the windows mines program where you can tag a square with a "?" when you are not sure if a mine is there or not.

    Instead of the square turning orange or blue as is the case now, it would be a "?" and only with subsequent tries could you determine if it was a hit or not

    ColonelCrockett: I'm not sure, but I have a beter discussion topic.

    Can anyone think of some interesting variants of the game that would be good on this site?

    Here are some I posted about awhile back:

    # Bonus Battleboats - One shot each turn, if you get a hit when you hit "submit this move", the game is back in your hands to make another move.

    # Outline Battleboats - A sort of "anti-battleboats" - goal is to outline the boats without hitting them. 5 hits and you lose. My question: What is an outline - just the 2 sides, and above - or the 4 corners also? And if it's near a side, you just need do the 3 sides?

(This is to solve the problem of seeing your opponent shooting 4 shots and hence knowing you sunk a ship that way)

    rod03801 
    I requested that once, ColonelCrockett. (Actually it may have been a different site, now that I think about it.) I called it Super Battleboats. Except, I would only do it as a "plus" game, because with diagnol ships, a "regular" one-shot a piece game could be way too long and boring..

    Onderwerp: Re:
    rod03801: you're correct. those one shot every third square staggered systems wouldn't work so well if the ships are put diagonally.

    Yea, Fencer knows about the bug, but the last I heard is that the database admistrator (Liquid) was not around to "completly" fix the problem. Fencer has fixed it for now, but he does not guarentee that it will not be back until Liquid is able to take a look at it.
