For the lack of any other place to post about this (it is not necessarily digital), I figured I would post here.  It isn't quite off-topic, but not quite console related.

Anyhow, with the nature of the economy and so on, to keep my sanity, I have gone back to doing game design stuff.  My form is non-digital, so work with boardgames and card games.  So, I decided to work on the Games on Half a Checkerboard Series.  End result is over games that can be played on half a checkerboard.  They are mostly abstract strategy games, but I also have a press your luck game and a puzzle game (arrange six dice on a board and reduce them down so there is only one die with a six left on it).

If anyone is interested, you can check this list out on Boardgame Geek.  Here is a short URL to the list of the games, with the rules downloadable also:

If you are into board game stuff, feel free to check it out.  Holding out hope I can produce sufficient content I can get a break professionally.  I have been looking at a list of games I have done in my life, and I am well over 50 games, with more coming.  For this Series, I am targeting eventually coming out with at least 32 games on half a checkerboard, one for each space.

Silly question: Are you saying you created playable games or rules for something we can try at home ourselves?

I posted it on Boardgame Geek.  This is boardgame stuff.  If you have a checker set, and other standard equipment, like dice or a chess set, the games are playable.  That is an interesting thing to note about games.  In the context of place like VGChartz, if you say "game" it means something you play on an electronic device, that is some code.  In the boardgame front, it refers to game rules, and possible the equipment.

Ah, that's a shame. I don't own a chess/draught set anymore would have loved to try them out but all my chess and draughts games I play in Home O.o

For $5-$10 you can be able to get enough equipment to play all 26 of the game so far, if you go to a dollar store.  A number of them just require one set.  

I'll try Pound stores instead :p

No buttons, no cutscenes, no story and 8bit graphics.

So these are casual games then?

The original kind.

Back in the day, we used to call stuff like this... games.

Anywho... those comments above do remind me again of the link between casual and retro.  Did I add also that almost all of them are turn-based? :)
