I like Camelot. Although you have to be alert, for else a foul move often counts as 7 captured pieces. I think this hyper Camelot version should be added too ;)

joshi tm:Thanks for your comments, joshi.  When I invented the Camelot variant of Camette, I never seriously expected it to avoid being "solved" for too long a period of time.  It appears, though, that 10 of the 22 possible first moves for White actually result in an equal battle--I was pleasently surprised!

MrWCF: Is it a solved game then? Or is it a "not so easily solved game" just like Checkers and Chess?

joshi tm: Camette has not been solved at any of the three possible levels (ultra-weak, weak, or strong).  However, in order for that to be true, White must choose one of the 10 opening moves (out of a possible 24) that do not result in forced loss.  Speaking of Checkers and Chess, by the way, as you may know, Checkers was weakly solved in 2007: it's a draw.

MrWCF: I read about the checkers game indeed it was weakly solved. I study maths, pity I did not learn anything about interesting Game Theories. What does the solving levels mean? By what perfect play, the games always draw?

Edit: I see the game board has lots more sides, piece connot be captured that easy. Interesting...
