Subject: Hex, Twixt, Universe, Jungle?

Would anyone else be interested in Hex or Twixt here? The object in each is quite similar; connect opposite edges with a continuous path of your pieces to win. Twixt rules are here: http://www.msoworld.com/mindzine/news/proprietary/twixt/twixt1.html and Hex rules are here: http://www.playsite.com/t/games/board/hex/rules.html

Universe is a cool abstract for 2 to 4 players. It's usually finished in less than 8 moves by each player. Info is here: http://www.geocities.com/twixtplayer/Universe1.html Anyone interested?

In the "Features in development" list, Jungle is described as an "old Indian game." The only Jungle game I know of is Chinese, also called Shou Qi. Rules are here: http://www.gamerz.net/pbmserv/jungle.html#rules (Note: there is some debate among players as to whether the Elephant may capture the Rat or not.) Is this the game under development?

Thanks for your attention.

As a side note, you can currently play a version of Hex and Twixt at LittleGolem.net -- so if anyone wanted to take a look at them, you can find those there!

I would be for adding them here. They are "different" games that are not found too many other on-line places.

Yes, Little Golem has 13x13 Hex, and Twixt "paper and pencil" which is almost Twixt, as I explain in my post from a few minutes earlier. Both these games are also available on PBMserv. If you have the software Zillions of Games you can play Twixt online in real time with opponents who also have Zillions. There are three active realtime Hex servers: Playsite, Kurnik (also available in Polish), and Ludoteka (available in English, Spanish, French, or Basque).
