KENSINGTON GAME (1979, Brian Taylor & Peter Forbes)

Does anyone know if this game is available to play on-line with others? I can't find it anywhere. Thanks

There is a zillions of games script for Kensington, so if two players each have Zillions of Games, which costs about 25 dollars, they can play each other over the internet.

Sorry I meant script.

David, I'm not familiar with s-cript. How do I purchase & engage an opponent?

Is "zillions of games" a website?

I wrote s c r i p t, but the system echoed s - c r i p t. I do not know why?

Zillions of Games is software that plays hundreds of different board games. And people can write programs that let it play new games. You can google zillions of games and it will take it to their web site which has over 1000 free user programmed games. The coding system for zillions is a bit like Lisp. You can download a free demonstration version of Zillions of Games which has a reduced number of board games that it plays. If you purchase the software on their site then you will get an email with a registration number which unlocks the demo software and allows you to play games that users have written.

You can check Zillions of Games on wikipedia if you like.

You have the option of playing someone else over the internet if both of you have Zillions of Games. It is a bit clunky to set up, but I have played games that way.

Thanks...it sounds kind of convoluded. I guess the question is, if I go through the process, buy the software ..etc., how do I then find players to engage on the internet?

Try here. Or, try on the boardgamegeek. Leave a message saying that you are open to Kensington Games using Zillions of Games.

Many thanks David!

@David: Little Golem inserts the hyphen into script to prevent cross-site scripting, a security breach. It prevents one user from posting a message that contains javascript from being executed as javascript in another user's browser.

Thanks for the answer to that little puzzle :-)

My brother bought this game years back. I played him twice. He knew some strategy, I knew nothing - so he won the first game. In the second game, I set up my pieces so that I threatened to win on my first move - he didn't think to check for that, and I won. He got frustrated. We never played again.

The game didn't interest me much, and I'm sure he's never touched it. Let me know if anybody wants to buy his copy from him, and I'll tell my brother.
