hi, this time I created a game that combines domino tiles with the beauty of knight's jump ... and everything happens on a 11x10 size board ... read on:
1. We need one set of 9x9 domino (55 tiles) ...
2. First tile may be placed anywhere on the board.
3. Next tiles have to touch other tile(s) already on the board . Touching with only corner to corner is considered illegal.
4. Counting points is as follow:
-whenever a tile (two halves of it) and the half(s) of the other tile(s) create L shaped knight's move, points for this/these "creature" are scored for the player who placed the tile ... simply, points on the tile plus the third half makes the score ...
5. One tile can create up to 4 different scoring situation ...
6. The game ends when all the tiles are positioned on the board (highly unlikely, but possible since there are 110 squares on the board to accomodate 55 domino tiles) or, what most likely will happen, playwers cannot put anymore tiles on the board ...
7. Player who got more points is the winner ... when the same score, game is a draw ...
***
Rules cannot be simpler, but fight starts from the very beginning ...
Since 6x6 is the most popular domino set, I ask you to try with this smaller set at home ... just pull out one of the tile open on the table and draw tile after tile and try to form knight's shape and make scores ...
have a very good weekend,
Andy.
