Good Poll, by the way. I think it was a great idea to get a 'public opinion' with that, instead of guessing.
Not sure if this is intended, but it looks like I can vote again every new day. That might be intended, and makes sense to me - the people being here every day get more weight than the people only stopping by every other week.
So - we got a new game variant - I assume it was under preparation for a while, not a reaction to the poll - but now I'm looking forward to Team Tournaments. Kind of LCL with server support. Not that DukeOfPrunes didn't do a great job, but wouldn't it be good to have that managed by the server, in any number?
Big2 is my favorite game too. And there is one advantage for turn-based games. It can be played with 4 players, and when one player stop to play (or resign), all his remain moves could be passed.
Fo example in Chinese Checker when one player stop to play, it is problem for whole game.
6nimmt is a very good game, but it's a 'party game', I see no reason for playing it turn based and in case you implement it, then I would recommend the pro version.
I would like to vote for Chinese Chess, but sadely it is not an option... I voted for Chinese Chess for almost 8-9 years now :) Why is Chinese Chess not on the list of possible new games, it has always been on the lists before?
I have to admit, I hardly know any of the games that are on the list currently.
@ ypercube: Well, maybe not exactly polls, but ther has been a lot of discussions through the years about new games, a lot of opinions and unformal voting. Except for backgammon, I have never seen any of the other games in this new poll in those earlier discussions...
Here is a link for Big 2. I had no idea what game it was, but when reading it, I found out that I actually know it and played variants of it often.
I don't think it is a good idea to add to LG, the article states that cheating is relatively easy, and ' Players in collusion in each other have massive advantages over a non-colluding player(s).. If it would be implemented for more than two players, I think it would be too easy to cheat.
Richard's explanation of XChess leaves too many unanswered questions, to the point that I really don't know what the game would be like. And one of the others, too, I don't think Googling gave useful results, if I remember right.
6 Nimmt! but the pro rules aren't explained here, in my experience the game becomes much more challenging and luck significantly reduced. So I am gonna explain it here:
Pro rules are the same as the standard rules, but the cards get added on both sides of the piles where the difference is the smallest (if there is the same difference on 2 piles, then the card is put on the pile where the card will be added at the right side).
