Two worlds got merged 200 years ago and eight factions are fighting over the tears left in reality. About forty minutes a game.


Every warrior has a Value that is both what it costs to play and what your opponent scores for killing it, so your best card is also the biggest prize on the board. That one rule does most of the work.


What's in it:


- One Ascendant, your commander: faction, race and a permanent power, 400+ builds. Never enters play, shapes every turn
- 120 cards in 8 types: warriors, gear, arcana, void symmetry, fortifications, breach sites, missions and one-shot specials
- 8 factions, each with its own abilities and its own rules about who it may attack
- 60-card decks you build yourself
- Rooms for 2 to 4 players
- 5 AI difficulties, from a relaxed practice opponent up to Void Apostle
- 18 hand-built bot decks dealt at random, so the AI brings a different deck and a different plan every game

It's new and in beta, so the room browser is quiet. That's what the bots are for.

Hi everyone,

I've been working on a browser version of Game of the Amazons in my spare time, and I think it's finally ready for other people to try: gota.gg

The Game of the Amazons is an abstract board game from 1988 that surprisingly few people know about. I discovered it years ago through a Numberphile video, A final game with Elwyn Berlekamp, and I've loved it ever since. The rules take about 30 seconds to learn:

• Each turn you move one of your amazons like a chess queen
• Then that same amazon shoots an arrow (also like a queen move), and the square it lands on is blocked for good
• The board slowly fills up, and the last player who can still move wins

That's the whole thing, but the games turn into a tense fight over territory, a bit like Go.

What's in it right now:

• An interactive tutorial, if you'd rather learn by doing
• Custom games on square or rectangular boards from 6x6 to 16x16, with up to 8 players
• Bots from "random" up to "hard" (the hard one is a neural net I trained, and it beats me more often than I'd like)
• Online auto-match with three modes: Classic 10x10, an "Hourly" mode where everyone gets the same random board for that hour, and "Chaos", with random boards and random starting positions
• Local games on one device, plus replays

You don't need an account to play, auto-match games included.

I'd really appreciate any feedback: bugs, anything confusing, or whether the tutorial actually makes sense to someone new. Give it a try!

Retrying since the crosspost got deleted:

hi!

I'd made a small prototype of an economy sim game where your goal is take orders and fulfill them (captivating right? :)) If you've played games like container and tokyo tsukiji market it is inspired by those games, although it deviates in someways.

I would really appreciate any feedback you're able to provide on the prototype found here: https://zedzag.itch.io/businessgame

Here are some things I want to know, I'd had a player tell me they found the game quite unintuitive, I've since made some changes to guide the player but the question remains:

1. Is it intuitive now?
2. Is it fun?
3. Have you played the two games I mentioned (Container/ Tokyo Tsukiji Market)?
4. Any other feedback you might have is appreciated.

For those that are new to this type of game:

You have a factory of one color, you can only make that color. You take orders of different amounts of each color. Since you can only make your own color you have to acquire the other colors via an auction against the other players. The goal is to get your orders fulfilled before the deadline whilst keeping storage costs low.
