Emne: Ataxx Variant

I've been thinking about this one for awhile, and think it would be a nice addition to the Ataxx game (A some-what popular game, in the top 25% of games played at this site!)

Dark Ataxx

You can only see the squares that are directly next to your own piece. This could allow a player to make some jumps to attack early without being seen, or setting back with a good defense without being seen.

Moves like normal - you can clone your piece into any surrounding space.

SPECIAL RULE - You can "Jump" like normal 2 spaces into a dark square. The special rule is if you jump onto your opponents piece, you lose the piece. If you jump into an open space, your piece stays there like normal, along with changing any surrounding pieces to your color.

special end-game rule: If there is no longer any visible spaces to move your pieces, game is over. Unlike in ataxx if you can jump to a free space you must, since all these will be hidden - the game will end.

What do others think about this variant?

joshi tm: Well I know I'm not the most skilled at many games - and having the board "dark" I feel gives me more of a chance against skilled players who may already know how to beat me on move 5.

A "dark" board will allow me a chance to make some unexpected moves in the hopes to throw the other player off.
