Invector was inspired by the ancient Hawaiian game of Kōnane, also known as Hawaiian Checkers. True to the spirit of Kōnane, Invector is played on a rectangular board initially filled with a checkerboard pattern of black and white stones. And like Kōnane, Invector has short range captures and is ext...

Edgecut is a very easy game to play. All legal moves are highlighted. You just select two highlighted stones and swap them. A lot of people were turned off by the complicated mechanism. But in practice, you never have to think about it. I designed the game, I understand the mechanism, and even I nev...

EDIT: Edgecut enteted alpha on July 31, but due to a glitch, nobody could open a table. Now you can play. Thank you for your patience. Edgecut is an orthogonal connection game (OCG). Black tries to form a path of black stones connecting the top and bottom edges. White tries to connect the left and r...

Edgecut is an orthogonal connection game (OCG). I'll give a brief overview, but you really have to study the rule sheet, text and diagrams, to understand it. Crosscut: 2x2 area with two diagonally adjacent black stones and two diagonally adjacent white stones. The board starts out filled with a chec...

What BGA does better for me is provide opponents and plenty of them. I don't have anyone to play with in real life. Going a little off topic here, but BGA has had a huge impact on my life. I've been designing abstract games since 1992. I only found out about BGA a few years ago, and I was able to le...
