Playok dama

Unread post by pgimeno » Thu Dec 16, pm.

Also made a minor update to the Russian Checkers review. I was keeping my impressions in a little text file, mainly as a reminder of what to focus on in future blog posts, but have decided to put them up here in case they might help anyone looking for something to play but perhaps lacking the time to try everything until they find a hit. What really bugs me is the promotion rule, which needlessly punishes early promotions and leads to the awkward rule forcing Pawns to remain in suspended animation if no captured pieces are available. Honestly I would probably score this game higher, except that in its wake this promotion rule appears to have become more popular, which is a problem for me. The linear movement aspect feels out of place in a Draughts game, and the kings are a bit too strong for my taste. I can, however, see why people like this game, so I give it a good score on that basis; certainly opening play will be varied, and the draw rate is low.

It is known in the west as Turkish Draughts or Turkish Checkers. It is very popular and there are clubs in Turkey and Germany organizing tournaments. Complicated endgame problems have been published in books, some of them dating from the 19th century. The left down square field should be dark. Players start with 16 men that are lined up on each side, in two rows, skipping the furthest back. Men can move forward or sideways one square, capturing by means of a jump. When a man reaches the back row, he is promoted to a dama "Lady" at the end of the move. Dama may move any number of squares forwards or sideways, capturing by jumping over any piece and landing in any square within permissible path beyond said piece. Pieces are removed immediately upon capture. If a capture is possible, it must be done. If several ways of capturing are possible, the one that captures the most pieces must be chosen. No difference between dama and man is made in capture, they count as one piece each. If there is more than one way to capture the maximally possible number of pieces, then the player may choose which to take. Unlike other checkers variants, since enemy pieces are removed immediately upon capture; as pieces are captured and removed from the board, it is possible to cross the same square previously occupied by a captured piece more than once empty the 2nd time and afterwards in the same capturing sequence. After each capture the piece is removed from the board before jumping is continued; its removal may open up additional captures previously impossible.

Rosette — Go on a hex board has playok dama a goal for many a designer, and Rosette makes it work through a wonderfully simple mechanism: if a player occupies all six points of a single hexagon, that group of stones cannot be captured, ever. All sounds seem to be working including music, playok dama.

PlayOK , also known as kurnik "chicken coop" , is a website of classic board and card games to play online against live opponents in real-time.

After a threat of legal action from Cronix , the company with the rights to Internet versions of the game, Kurnik developed a similar game called "Literaxx" Literaki ;- in Polish , which differed from Scrabble only because of a different board, but Cronix considered these changes too minor for it not to be a copyright violation. Marek Futrega then developed Literaki ;- into a new word-based game with different rules than Scrabble. The Literaki ;- rules are public domain.

I very much enjoy playing Xiangqi, but I prefer Janggi, which removes the river and allows the Elephants to roam free plus they have a more interesting move. The result is a weird experience, with carnage starting very quickly. Also made a minor update to the Russian Checkers review. Not that many people read this blog, but I try to help people find interesting games mostly Shogi, in fairness, but still. Having said that, the chucking of axes is very fun, and the game overall is a good experience. Sign In Register. But I haven't checked if behaves the same on my real Playstation e.

If several ways of capturing are possible, the one that captures the most pieces must be chosen. The linear movement aspect feels out of place in a Draughts game, and the kings are a bit too strong for my taste. Io — An excellent showcase for the under-appreciated one-bound, one-free opening protocol. The downside for me is the relative lack of Pawn structure and promotion except for slightly stronger Pawns ; however, I must admit the game works fine without these, thanks to the confinement of the King in the palace, which allows checkmate to occur even when little attacking power is left on the board. Also made a minor update to the Russian Checkers review. Potential lifestyle games. In essence, in my opinion it takes Go and removes virtually all of the clarity and aesthetic beauty. However, I also love experimenting with new rules, and with variants of existing games. HexSygo — One of the few, elite members of the hexagonal-Go-games-that-actually-work club. I have fun with it, but I do prefer Pente, as the sandwich captures add significant dynamism to the basic 5-in-a-row framework. My order-9 Catchup board design. Phalanx — This game has several elements not usually seen in combination, bringing together placement, movement, capture, movement of whole groups, all in service of a territorial goal. Still better than a kick in the head, and I imagine this game could be substantially improved if someone with design chops spent some time with it. Looking back through the reviews before finally posting this, I was amazed how many games on MindSports actually really hit the mark for me.
