A new game is supposed to be added to LG every three months. I have been around for three months now and no new games appeared. Are there any news on this subject?
Public forum discussion.

No.
But there rarely are. It just seems that richard sometimes surprises us with a new game. Slither was the latest addition as far as i'm concerned.

The site's text doesn't change. A new game every 3 months may have been the goal once but not any more. Similarly, the text for Game of Empathy still says "There is a new game every day," but it's been every three days at least since I started playing in 2007.
However, the FAQ (at www.edcollins.com/golem/) does get updated.

A new game every 3 months may actually be too much for LG (and, probably, A LOT of extra work for Richard). But a new game every year sounds IMHO would sound really fine

Since I started playing here (2006)there have been 5 new games added (WYPS, OSKI, Shogi, Havannah, Slither), not counting all the variants introduced. So, on average it is 1 new game per year. However, those new games where introduced 2008 and later, so the introduction rate is higher than one per year at the moment.

Most of the games on LG are chess game, maybe it can add some card game.

You probably mean "board game".

"Race for the Galaxy" is said to be fun. The problem is that such games are protected most likely by copy rights (graphics is typically an important part of the game) so it is a more complex (legal) matter to implement it on a site like Little Golem. Logical abstract games do not suffer from this problem.

I know a website playing board game named BrettspielWelt ( wiki/BrettspielWelt). But I don't like it. When a game starts, it requires all the players to be online. Sometimes it's a waste of time since one has to wait for his turn.

Hi
''Pente'' should be a good idea for new game. Or new connect4 board sizes ! (but not 7x6)

A new board size for C4 would be great. I would like 8x7 or 9x6. :)
