Chess, Checkers, Backgammon & The Lost Stonehenge

Karkadann · **Posted:** Fri Oct 01, 2010 8:59 am

How about having some board games, like Chess, Backgammon, and Checkers. The kind of games that transcend language and are known world wide. Two players or teams of players that don't even speak the same language can indulge in such things. It might even attract more people to MOULa who knows, the possibilities are endless.People can spend hours playing these games.

I already have a Chess game all ready with Chess pieces that are almost tip proof. A sneak preview can be found where the the fan created ages are made available. Although I did find the Chess men on the net from a free download, I hope it will good enough for MOULa and pass the cannon rules. Im not to sure how to submit them to Cyan for approval yet, but all in good time

Im presently working on Backgammon and will be working on checkers next, and then im gonna give the Stonehenge a try

Whada-ya guys think?

That sounds like a really good idea.

Uru needs more minigames, and I think that these sorts of games - chess, checkers, backgammon - are ideal given that they can be implemented fairly easily with the current tools.

I look forward to seeing your games in MO:ULa.

Just don't expect Cyan Worlds to respond to your FCAL very quickly - I submitted an FCAL for my D'ni Temple nearly a year ago, when it was in its early stages - and they still haven't responded in any way.

They're very busy with other things right now, and very short-staffed.

Well like I said, all in good time. I just wanted to get the idea out their and circulating. I know their are also several other board games just as old if not older that might be easy enough to build if any of you got some ideas for me.

I actually chose these games because they are ancient, known world wide, and transcend the language barrier, if any one has any other Ideas, let me know and I'll see what I can come up with

Well the Backgammon Age is done and a sneak preview can be found where the the fan created ages are made available

Now for checkers

this is probably under copyright, but clue would be great

Don't know if im good enough to make Clue and well Copyright and all, however know all three board games are available Chess, Checkers, and Backgammon

Now back to the M.C. Escher's Relativity age Nightmare, Or perhaps a Stonehenge age might be nice which would be a lot easer just a bit more tedious

lol yea. (something tells me relativity is harder than clue, but i feel its more important too)

And what do you think about a D'ni game you would create ?

Yes, for example gemedet. Unfortunately, we know very little about gemedet (from the Book of Ti'ana), it is kind of a 3-dimensional checkers or chess-like game.

This was considered and talked about here a few months ago... Please have a look here...

Jutt even created a raw Gemedet app so that you can get an impression... though I believe this
would be quite difficult to build into an age like your great Chess, Checkers and Backgammon,
Karkadann, but in no way do I want to limit your imagination and phantasy...
Please, go ahead and give it a try...

I think it is a great idea who seems to interest a lot of people.

Gemedet proved to be a bit more difficult then I had hoped so I went back to the Stonehenge, just a few more details and it should be ready
and updated
