aNiMaL.: I like Frog Finder

Plus after 12,000+ games, it is very even for player 1 and player 2

Red - won 6118 games (49.93% of games)
Blue - won 6109 games (49.85% of games)

You can't get much closer to an evenly matched game.

When running a tourney, which games offer more even chances for the most people? For example, if one were to run a prize tourney, chess would eliminate a lot of people (as would games like Pente etc) because of its highly skilled aspects. Games like Dice chess offer a bit more equality but perhaps are too much on the chance end of it. What do others think?

Madmonkeys 'Boat Battle' (7) Battleboats - masino

srnity: I was actually trying to think of what the problem could have been,not being funny,but mention of the term "brains" here does require clarification.

Jim Dandy: Good One

srnity: could it be that entry required "brains" and you had none? I hope you understand the context of the term brains,lol

coan.net: Woo-Hoo I love Dice Chess, I'm no good at it, but I love playing it & the chances of winning are a bit better with only four opponents so...

srnity: Opps. See what happens when I don't create tournament enough - I get rusty. (forgot to change the frog finder type to Dice Chess.)

I will delete the 2 below - and 2 new ones with Dice Chess have already been created! Thanks for letting me know.

coan.net: Your FF game even passed my very own Cloning Backgammon game :( Now found at #9th place, FF at #8th place.

joshi tm: Co-op variant information: http://coan.net/sweeper2.html (Variant #2)

I would love to see that too. It would be the same game, but the strategy on how to play would be completely different - forcing players to take more chances and such.

HEY FENCER - Frog Finder is one of the top 10 games on the site (active games going) - The Co-op variant would make a VERY nice addition to the site.....

coan.net: Forg Finder is still a very interesting game... Still I'ld to see the Co-op Variant to BK.

OK, after a break of creating my "Fast Start - First 5" tournaments - you can stop asking me if I'm going to make them again - because I am: These are small tournaments - limit of 5 people. Once 5 sign up, they start. Simple enough.

Check out list here: coan.net's Open Tournament List


ALSO, I've created a special Birthday Tournament for myself:

Signup for that only only until October 19th - so sign up quick! Should be fun!
