| MISCELLANEOUS GAMES | Excellent games that don't belong in my Abstract Games or Connection Games tables. |
| Oustanding architecture! Excellent gameplay. Square Oust is played with a Go set but is otherwise identical to hex hex Oust which appears in my Abstract Games table. If players cooperate in filling the board with a checkerboard pattern of stones in square Oust, the game will end in a draw. Because of this I can't include square Oust in my Abstract Games table, even though a draw could never occur between competing players. Equipment: Go set. Played at: |

| CROSSWAY | Draw free connection game for Go set. Crossway is
one of my most strategic games. There are eight directions of
connectivity, two more than in Hex, engendering a richer gameplay.
An ultra simple placement rule prevents impasses in Crossway
and ensures the formation of exactly one winning path (no draws). The board can't be randomly filled with stones without violating Crossway's placement rule, excluding Crossway from my Connection Games table. Equipment: Go set. Played at: |
| Fantastic three player game! The elusive game of X has at last taken form.
Win by connecting all four sides of a rhombus shaped board with an X shaped path, among other winning possibilities. X does have the "filled board produces exactly one winner" characteristic. However, because X was designed for three players, I can't include it in my Connection Games table. Equipment: Printed board and broad tip highlighter pens. Played at: nowhere yet... |
