This is my entry for the Stacking Games Contest on rec.games.abstract.
Many thanks to Daniel Shultz for initiating this contest. Actually, Mixtour includes a mechanism which is reminiscent of his game Charisma.
Working on this game was quite exhausting but also very satisfying. I hope you like it.

Please accept my game submission titled “Splay” for the r.g.a stacking game contest. I have attached an image of the game during actual play. The link to the game’s web page is:

http://splay.webstarts.com/

The web page contains links to download the rules in PDF format and to download the Axiom computer implementation of the game.


The free Axiom Game Engine for PC plays its own game, but also allows players to compete against each other.

Splay was the first entry to be implemented on the Axiom Game Engine.
