Colorfield is a two-color, dot-connection game. Similar to Dots and Boxes, but with two colors of line segments - not just one color. Only one move per turn. No chain reactions (and therefore more robust). You claim an area, possibly larger than one unit square, by surrounding it with more segments ...

Clear Path is an orthogonal connection game that's based on a truly magnificent mechanism. The idea is that while you're trying to form your own connecting path, you have to leave a "clear path" open for your opponent to form theirs. I did find a solution in March, but it needed chain reac...

Both players are Black, and only black stones are played. Every pair of stones has to be connected by an orthogonal path of empty points, of length at least 1 . Just being adjacent doesn't count as being connected. Otherwise the board would fill up with black stones. Last move wins. Game page: https...

Edgecut is an orthogonal connection game. Black tries to form an orthogonally interconnected path of black stones connecting the top and bottom edges. White tries to connect the left and right edges. The board starts out filled with a checkerboard pattern of stones. On your turn, swap two orthogonal...

Room and Pillar is a SUPER simple combinatorial. The board starts out filled with a checkerboard pattern of black and white stones. On your turn, remove a stone of your color. LEGAL MOVES 1. The stone you remove must be orthogonally adjacent to an unoccupied point (except for the first stone removed...

Abstracts are the least popular genre among games. Combinatorials are the least popular subclass of abstracts. Impartials are the least popular subclass of combinatorials. This brings us to Black Narrows. Against all odds, it somehow manages to be engaging and entertaining. Both players are Black, a...

Room and Pillar is a SUPER simple combinatorial. The board starts out filled with a checkerboard pattern of black and white stones. On your turn remove a stone of your color. LEGAL MOVES 1. The stone you remove must be adjacent to an unoccupied point. 2. After your removal there can't be a 2x2 vacan...

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...
