Elstron Table Games : the Lesser Board Games : Volume Volume 3

Mu Pi Chan

Abstract

Preface The games described in this book follow on from the 'elite' games described in the Elstron Table Games (Volume 1). These games have been referred to, by Elstron sources, as "children's games" or "pleb's games". Personally I think such terms can be misleading, and would strongly recommend readers to make up their own minds. The approach taken in this book (Volume 3) is to define the rules in a loose but matter of fact way, with many references back to Volume 1 being used. In general specific rules (or if one prefers laws) are defined in natural language with supporting diagrams added for clarity and convenience. The use of examples, technical analysis, and implementation details are avoided, however study of Volume 2 may provide some useful clues in these areas as to a large extent these games are based on or related to Volume 1 games. The following points should be borne in mind when reading this book: Some of these games have been rendered with little or no testing, so the games should not be considered proven. This book cannot be considered stand-alone as without access to Volumes 1 & 2 it is unlikely you the reader will be able to fully understand the games herein.
