30. Mayo 2009, 14:56:51 Asunto: On fair and balanced games wow, do we need to discuss it ? Maybe ... well, this single issue was the most debated thru the history of board games ... I am not an expert, I create games with a support of my intuition and sense of what may be exciting to play ... regardless if the game is balanced or "solved" many games enjoy tremendous popularity ... Gomoku, for example ... it's sure win for the first player (if he/she plays correctly) ... Chess, with white advantage ... even Reversi, properly played is a win for the starting player ... look at Backgammon ... 7 years old child can win with yesterday's World Champ ... and so on ... now look at Cheversi, my own creation ... statistics doesn't look good for white players ... I discuss this with pedro_martinez who played this game extensively and came to one conclusion ... white has slight advantage !!! So why most of the time white loses the game ?... here is the catch ... white has to play carefuly to balance black's "free ride ticket" in the form of the last, unchalenged move ... so this the characteristic of Cheversi ... But first of all, I want my games to be fun and I repeat this here: FUN, even if it is not balanced well but instead gives the player HOPE during the game ... tic tac toe is a little nonsens and always tie for careful players ... but everybody played this game and many plays and will play ... Just try something at home with your domino set ... I invented this game while ago and called it "Dirty dozen against magnificent seven" (titles of well known movies) ... ok, give one player all the doubles (7 of them) and let next player draw 12 tiles from the pile ... player with 7 doubles plays any tile to the middle of the table ... the other player matches this tile on the table, and who cannot continue in this way is the loser ... easy ? stupid ? I don't know ... I do not judge my games, you do this ... Is it balanced game ? Play it with picture dominoes with your kids and they will tell you ... there will be two winners: you as a parent and youe child ... and this is the purpose of the game ... FUN ... Have a nice weekend, Andy. 30. Mayo 2009, 17:59:24 Asunto: Re: On fair and balanced games Modificado por MrWCF (30. Mayo 2009, 18:00:28) ChessVariant: Hi, CV. I thought I would mention to you the two chess variants that I am lobbying for, since I gather that you've had lots of experience with creating and playing variants. Inheritance Chess In this variant, the white rook pawns begin on the third rank and the black rook pawns begin on the sixth rank, castling is not permitted, en passant captures are not permitted, and, most importantly, pieces have inheritance powers. Pieces of a given color on the same file inherit the movement powers of one another. These powers do not stay with each piece for the entire game; the inherited powers are only inherited while the pieces are on the same file as one another. The Lost Pawns In this variant, white's pieces actually start on the 7th and 8th ranks, and black’s pieces start on the 1st and 2nd ranks, with the direction of the pieces remaining the same as with a standard chess game. In other words, all pawns are just one square away from promotion. Two-square pawn advances and en-passant captures are obviously not possible since all pawns start on their 7th ranks. Both of these variants have been played on other sites, and users have found them to be a blast to play! Hope they're given some implementation consideration on this site, someday. 30.

I am open to try any of chess variants, the more crazy the better (for me) ... as you may discovered I rather play and create "less" serious games using chess pieces ... what I am looking for in my variants is novelty ... not thru modifying chess pieces but creating entire new situation on a board ... let's put this way: completely new game ... I also like to refresh other games by substituting traditional, one-faced stones by chess pieces ... I posted a proposal for the game that combine Halma's idea with chess pieces (Chelma) ... why don't you join my fellowship "Chess Variants Club" and talk about variants ... there are discussion boards open and waiting for some ideas ... as of Inheritance Chess and Lost Pawns ... never tried them also would be happy to see them implemented here at brainking ... Cheers, Andy. |
