ABSTRACT GAMES

Highlighting a small sample of my games.

OUST	Intense game of annihilation.   Magnificent architecture and dramatic play.   You can get behind and come back, a few times, in one play.   Oust is an exhilarating game to win.   And a sh*tty game to lose. The Oust game tree is ginormous.   Moves are more restricted than in Go, but large groups are removed, and the vacated spaces repopulated - again and again.   Oust has been copied, but never equaled.  No serious AI exists for Oust.   Nor will it exist, for many years to come. Equipment: Hex hex game board, Go stones. Played at: Board Game Arena, Ai Ai, ig Game Center, Mind Sports.
CEPHALOPOD	Unique capture-from-within mechanism.  Dice are used as playing pieces.  Equipment: Printed board, 25 red dice and 25 blue dice. Played at: Board Game Arena, Ludoteka, ig Game Center, Boite a Jeux, Games By Email, Gamerz Net, Super Duper Games. Cephalopod download
REDSTONE	Variant of Go in which captures are executed with neutral, red stones.  Red stones cannot themselves be captured.  Played at: Board Game Arena.
KING AND COURTESAN	Army game.  Get your king into the enemy home square, or kill the enemy king.
