BIG BAD WOLF: Yes, that was the idea! I think it would be
a) a very interesting game and
b) possibly the last extension to the whole Line4-family that I could imagine ;) (Except of course Sphere Anti Line4[obvious] and Cylinder Linetris

)

More multiplayer games (like Ponds), maybe Dudo.

Anyway ... in Sphere Spider Line4 there's a "forced" win for the first player.

BIG BAD WOLF, joshi tm: Small Froglet most definitely would be great

Any Ataxx or Assimilation variant would be good. With some random black squares(islands) would be fun that can not be controlled by anyone. Work your way around them

BIG BAD WOLF: Small (8x8) Froglet is indeed a great addition to the site, as are the large (16x16) version. (I like longer games).

17 Ataxx 9x9 and Anti Ataxx
:)

Subject: Re: My New Games

joshi tm: Speaking of Froglet - SMALL FROGLET - I rarely play Froglet anymore because it takes so long - a smaller board version would be a nice variant.

As for Ludo - I would like to see 2-dice version - that is you roll 2 dice every turn. You get our of "home" with either a 1 or a 6. And you then move pieces with the 2 dice your roll every turn. You can also split up the dice - so if you roll a 2,6 - you can move 1 piece 2 spaces, and move another piece 6 spaces.

13: Battleboats (joshi tm, 2006-11-30 19:47:56) Inaccurate Battleboats, when shooting at e.g. e4, choose destination of the shot on this spot or one of the eight spots directly next to it.

Subject: Re: My New Games

BIG BAD WOLF: Oops ... I was too hasty and didn't think it through (I failed to realize some moves cannot be made because they're not connected to the border).

After some more thought I still think the first player has a "forced" win (10 moves???), but I have to study the game better.

Gordon Shumway: Sphere Line 4???? Isn't that a win in 5 moves for the first player?

4. January 2007, 16:44:11

Subject: Re: My New Games

Gordon Shumway: Sphere Line4 - interesting. So in Sphere, do you mean left-right AND top-bottom. That would be interesting. Still start placing pieces at the bottom, but now once the columns make it near the top, you have to be carefull with connecting to the bottom of the page to make a line.

4. January 2007, 16:28:43

4. January 2007, 13:10:58

It looks like if a player has no rating, the rating becomes 0 (instead of 1300) for the Avarage BKR of a team in team tournaments. Is that true? (referring to http://brainking.com/nl/TeamTournaments?tri=70&trnst=10 Cloning Gammon Team tournament)

I can get through my games faster than more days. We are in the same country. Seems it doesnt matter what part of the world some are in.. it is just slow for some and fast for others.. Mind boggling
