List of all variants

Does anyone have (or can we build) a list of Amazons variants?

I’ve never heard of any. But one that comes to mind would be shooting more than one shot every time you move. Or also allowing each peice to move like a knight in chess (in adition to the usual queen like movement).

You could also do it so that every time you move along a path, you place a stone on very space in that path (instead of shooting).

There was a call for suggestions for variants many years back. One variant I invented was ‘suicide bomber’ amazons. instead of your move, you can blow yourself up, and take everything next to you out too.

There were weird ones where you were obliged to either move as far as possible in your chosen direction, and another where you were obliged to fire as far as possible in your chosen direction. Some even played trials of these variants, as it just requires remembering that you have that obligation (which is what the private message is useful for). They were quirky, and weren’t as organic as the original.

Monkey Trap by Christian Freeling can also be seen as a variant of Amazons. It is described in the hidden blog, IIRC.
