Take regular chess, and prevent people from making non-capture moves
laterally or backwards (Castling is permitted also though). Otherwise
it is the same. Not only can you lose if your king is captured
(rather than checkmated), if you can't make a legal move, you also
lose.

My experience with the game is that it is easy to mess up in a big
way, with both sides reasonably close. But the game can never end in
a draw, and will always run a finite number of turns. Despite this,
and it being more restrictive as far as moves, the game feels pretty
deep.

I wanted to see if anyone else here had thoughts on this, if they were
to argue how much more shallow it is compared to normal chess.

Wikipedia article for Nomic if you're not familiar) run entirely on
wikidot.com. I've tried to make the game "fault tolerant", in that
people can join without requiring myself, or a future Speaker to
register them. The rules are a slightly modified Agora initial set,
and the changes are fundamentally there to downplay the Speaker's
role, while also giving the Speaker a vote and the ability to make
proposals.

Come on out to dotnomic.wikidot.com, and join the game!

Station Balcony Bar (morning and afternoon). But you're also very welcome
just to come by and say hello and see what these abstract board games are
all about. If you're not in the UK then you just need to get to Manchester
Airport and Piccadilly is just 15 minutes up the track ;-) ... ideal
international games venue ....

registration of entry for the competitions (free) also via website
www.pacru.com

The Championships for all 3 games will be held at the Mind Sports Olympiad
in Westminster London over the weekend Friday 22nd-Sunday 24th August (not
free - see www.msoworld.com for details - should be there within the week).

The games at MSO form part of the 'best scores from 5 on the list' selection
of games comprising MSO's 1st Abstract Games Championship.

Check this thread out on the Chess Variant site.

The basic idea is to have a game of chess (or any abstract strategy
game) and at least one side (if not both sides) collectively votes on
what the move should be. In event of a tie for votes, the first
proposed tied move would be the move the side would make. During a
given time period, people are allowed to change their votes.

In a single player vs mode (Kasparov vs the World) you have a top
player take on the world, or a group, or like the Internet. In the
case of the Internet, people could use computers to come up with
moves.

Another approach is to have people join into a game as one side or
another and they would then have a rooting and voting interest in
their side winning. Both sides end up being voted upon.

Any comments here? We may have something that is doable.
