Subject: Re:

joshi tm: I rather have games with a different game play than size variants on games, or yet another chess variant.

Some examples:

9 Men Morris. (Well known game)
Cats and Dogs. Played on an 8x8 (Go) board. Players alternate placing stones of their colour on the board, under the restriction you cannot put a stone horizontally or vertically adjacent to stone of your opponents colour. First player who cannot move loses.
Roots. Played on a 19x19 board. Players start with 8 'roots' of one stone each (roots are set up in a 4 x 4 grid, evenly spread out over the board, in alternating colours). Players alternate placing a stone of their colour on the board under the condition that each placed stone is horizontally or vertically adjacent to exactly one stone of their colour - so the groups look like root systems. If after a stone is placed one or more root systems cannot expand any further, they are removed from the board immediately. Winner is the person who eliminates all root systems of the other player.
Connection games, like hex, twixt, or Y.
Clobber. Played on an NxM checkerboard (N and M cannot be both odd). Initially, all white squares are filled with white stones; all black squares with black stones. One player plays the white stones, the other the black. Players alternate moves. A move consist of taking one of your stones and moving it horizontally or vertically one square to a square occupied by a stone of your opponent. The opponents stone is removed. First player who cannot move loses.
