I don't know about other players but I find the longboat tile far to much of a "joker" and and swing a game way too much. All games have an element of luck to them but that tile I think pushes that to a level beyond sensible and spoils the game. Suggestion: How about having a "Longbo...

I'm playing in a game which is described as strategic variant. Where can I find a description and rules for this variant?

Is there a list depicting the 78 regular and 16 menhir tiles?

This game has the most beautiful interface of any.

Distinguished? Extinguish that please - for Very Strong as TheClaudeQc recommends. Don't like apprentice master - a glaring contradiction. Rather: Strong Expert, then Master, then Strong Master. Above that, Grandmaster and Strong Grandmaster. All easy to remember and figure out.

e.g. 8.Sab3bc2(-6), 9.Ia7-0(-3), 10.Ib-e4(-2), 11. Ie-h0(+1) END.

Firstly, regarding notation: I think it is essential to have some notation. If the system I proposed is thought too difficult by csaphiro alone (in fact Cheery Dog and T72on1 are also not happy with it) then I am indeed grateful to csaphiro for finding a system that he would be happy with. I am only...
