    Here's an interesting game I have come across called Tile Tussle.

    It is a simple 2-player game and it is played on a square board composed of squares. Each player owns an equal number of squares on the board.

    Example board: http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=p3g...C4NsxZO62RiHXRA (look at the starting board first).

    Players take turn removing "tiles" (of your choice) from the board. A tile is either x-shaped or +-shaped. An x-shaped tile removes the target square, plus the 4 squares located at its corners. A plus-shaped tile removes the target square, plus the 4 squares located on its sides. Of course if a square is located along the sides of the board, it might not have neighbors so removing a tile there removes less than 5 squares.

    Players always remove tiles that are centered around one of their squares. You choose what kind of shape the tile has. Of course, it's possible that by removing a tile around your square, you're also removing squares of your opponent.

    If a player runs out of squares at the start of his/her turn and is therefore unable to play, s/he is the loser and the other person wins.

    At the start of the game, a player is randomly picked to select his/her color. Once that person selects his/her side, the other person selects who starts.

    Moves are posted in this thread like this:

    CODE
    [b]"Coordinates of the target square" x/+ (the tile to remove)[/b]


    (In the example, player 1 played C4x and player 2 played B7+).

    You can also resign during your turn to concede the game.

    If people like this game, we can set up a tournament or something. If 2 people want to play and need a random board, ask me and I can provide you one. I can also keep track of the moves for you.

    So... anybody want to play?

    ===================


    Game #2: Whitefang vs Zombo - Board - Zombo wins.
    Game #3: Tialys vs Zombo - Board - Zombo wins.

    just a question. If you're @, are you trying to get rid off all the # or @?

    your goal is NOT to be the first who ran out of your own squares.

    what do you not understand... its really simple, you remove squares from the board either in X or +... your goal is to not run out of your own squares.

    I will observe your game with WhiteFang, that way it will be easier for me to understand.

    Concede. We both have 7 squares left, but Zombo will end up winning with 1 square left since it's currently my turn. Good game.

    Lamtartarus, I think you should play against minche, since she wanted to try the game.
