be demolished.
Thanks,

Happy stabbing!

These are the rules to Dipole Chess:
http://www.chessvariants.org/index/msdisplay.php?itemid=MSdipolechess

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.

Dice Tower Gaming Awards 2008, recognizing the best games from the
year 2007.

We also talk about our top ten conflict systems in games, and give
some early thoughts on Agricola. (For the record, the game with
"colored balls" is Starfarers of Catan - we didn't make that clear).

Top Ten List can be found here:

boards are . . . well, what can I say?

Just wanted to drop the word out that Wordox is back... it's a game
similar to Scrabble where you steal the opponents points by creating
words using the letters of the word he created. It's very
entertaining!!

I've been doing quite a bit of work lately on the Postal Diplomacy
Zine Archive section of my Diplomacy website. I've scanned and posted
countless zines, ranging from the first ten issues of Graustark (the
very first Diplomacy zine ever) on through some zines which appeared
in the 1990's, and every era in between. And there are plenty more
where those came from! I even got some zines that Craig Reges scanned
for me. The more help, the better! If you are interested at all in
hobby history and the postal aspect of the hobby, check out the zines
