Classic Boardgames
« on: December 10, 2018, 06:40:42 pm »
My friend is learning about forum games, and I recommended playing a board game on forums would help him smoothly learn with something familiar to fall back on.

I was thinking Chess, or Checkers. But I wanted to ask what (short, simple) board games might be of interest already.

What would you like to play?

It's time for lesson one in Forum Games: Swarm Logic. It will not always be the same person replying. That is rare. Usually there's a herd of maybe-players with it too.

Now, let's go... Black. Your move first, stranger!

Hey look, everyone's ganging up on me. Interesting.

Move the pawn in front of the left knight forward.

Can you assign a number and letter like pawn moves to c7 or d7, it'll be easier to keep track.

You might want to put those on the board then.

I tried to play chess but two of my opponents were playing competitive checkers as a third person walked in with Game of Thrones in hand confused cause they thought this was the book club.

64's move (white)

I recommend hitting the NOTIFY button at the top to know when a move is posted, or alteast checking once or twice a day.
