New Games on LG

How about Abalone and Boku?

Any ideas?

Quoridor, Trax, or maybe Trilbert?

[url=http://mindsports.nl/index.php/arena/dameo/]Dameo[/url]?

Yeah I thought also to Quoridor.

Don't know the others.

I would be interested in Phutball.

I would love to play Quoridor here !!!

trax is good too...

I totally approve Trax!

Other games I'd personally like to see here are Pente, Hnefatafl and Minimize.

Mayby Dots (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dots_%28game%29)?

I would go for games that are

    simple to play

    not solved

    played a lot

Yahtzee

 aka Dice Poker @BrainKing, single and triple multiplying columns, also 6 dice version (but maybe too many)

 aka Shake Rattle & Roll @GoldToken, too many variations

 aka Boatzee @ItsYourTurn, single, double and triple

 aka Dice @PlayOk, triple columns

Stratego

 aka Strategy @YourTurnMyTurn

Mastermind

 aka Crack the Code @YourTurnMyTurn, 5 positions with 6 colours (solved, average =4.75 guesses [unless you know better])

 aka Logik @BrainKing, 5 positions with 8 colours

tl;dr: Volo, Entrapment, Cannon.

I like the taste of boardspace.net in general. IMHO Volo would be a perfect fit for LG. Currently there's no place to play Volo turn-based.Since Quoridor is playable (both real-time and turn-based) on boardgamearena, I'm against wasting time to implement it here. Entrapment would work better.

Even though Cannon is playable at SDG, SDG is so slow that I'd love to play it elsewhere.

Mentalis. It's playable on GoldToken, but with incorrect rules.

A championship for mini shogi :)

there already is a championship for mini shogi.  but a monthly cup for mini shogi would be a good idea

Oh right :) that is of course what I meant

I'd like to see Lynx, a curious hybrid of Hex and Dots and Boxes.

I see there is a vote...

Pineapple Open Chinese Poker starts to get many votes (only 55 people voting up to now).

How would we play it and would it be the two persons or three persons variant?

Anyone who has ideas? I'm thrilled by the idea, very original new type of game here.

It is Open Face Chinese, see introduction here.

Tzaar is winning now

Abalone! And Unlur! And Chinese checkers and xiangqi and quoridor and Nowhere to go and blokus and gemblo!

Pineapple Open Chinese Poker  - only two player variant

@Piqo: Polynomino is more or less blokus.

True.

Awhile back, there was a similar pole for a new game, and backgammon won.   I would love to see backgammon at this site.  I just voted for Tzaar.  Tzaar is one of the Gipf project games, as is Dvonn, but Yinsh is the best of the Gipf games.  I used to sell these games to my students, but they are apparently no longer in production.  Yinsh seems to be in great demand, I saw one sell on ebay this past summer for more than $80 U.S.

Yinsh and Dvonn are good. My favourite Gipf game is Tzaar.

Is it joke ?

I believe that a lot of people don't know Tzaar. I first voted for Draughts/Checkers, as I wanted to get this game on this site rather than having to go to other sites to play.But then I wondered what Tzaar was, had a look, got interested, and now I believe I definitely prefer Tzaar over Checkers, because it's possible to play checkers on so many other sites anyway, and I would really like to learn that game. Please check out Tzaar before voting for Checkers (I'm not much into card games - that's why I don't even mention POFC).

I voted for checkerchecker

Oops

checkers without looking at the option of Tzaar. I agree that most sites have checkers.

Why does my ipad post words twice on this website sometimes?

May I ask proponents of 'checkers' to consider Dameo? It can be found at mindsports.nl. Lots of basic tactics, problems and endgames are provided. Dameo is amongst the most decisive of checkers variants.

I voted for Tzaar, seemed to be a fun game. But I would still love to see chinese chess (xiangqi) here.

I definitely am most interested in the Pineapple OFC out of those, but if it could be any game I'd have to be in favor of Stratego. It's extremely interesting and I'd love to have it on LG!

Ah, Stratego!  How rarely I have the pleasure of breaking out my set!  But - - - Games of Pure Strategy, right??  The thing with Stratego is that players do not have complete information ie. how their opponents pieces are set up.  This makes the game FUN, but adds an element of LUCK.  I guess the concept is to avoid that here.   I mean ... there is lots of 'strategy' in Poker, but it is still based on luck (anticipated disagreements and arguments coming), and even Scrabble is based on the luck of the draw.   So the thing is, will this website ever 'branch out', or remain 'true to it's principles'?  Actually, I can appreciate both answers here, and don't feel I have the right to choose one over the other.But that is why I don't think we are likely to see Stratego.   Note that there ARE websites for this game, and free software is available as well.Personally, I've always loved the 3D TicTacToe game marketed as Qubic.  Certainly the game qualifies, only IT'S BEEN SOLVED!!  (bummer!!).  What to do, what to do.  If somebody could only figure out a way to improve Qubic so that software wouldn't be available for cheaters, so that it wasn't a 1st player win, and so the game was fair, I'd vote for this.I know nothing about the other games (besides Checkers, of course), so I am not voting.  For me, I remain happy with the few games I currently participate in here.(meow)

@MisterCat we already have StreetSoccer, EinStein and WYPS which have elements of luck. Also the variants (Dvonn and Go) with random prearranged moves have a small element of luck.

248 votes are not multiple of 3. So the results must be  82 83 83. Pick the two winners and make a second round.

What was the final result of the poll?

Epaminondas! An amazing game from Robert Abbott:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epaminondas_(game))

The poll is still open here

Draughts/Checkers 32%

Tzaar 34%

Pineapple OFC 33%
