Reading this needs nothing. Starting a session needs a nickname, which takes about a minute and asks for no email address.
What it is
Sow seeds around the board, capture across it, and finish with the fuller store.
How it plays
- 1
Lift the seeds from one of your pits and sow them one at a time round the board.
- 2
Finish in your store and you go again. Finish in an empty pit of yours and you capture opposite.
- 3
When one side is empty the game ends, and the fuller store wins.
The details
- Players
- 2 players. The host can set the number in advance, or leave it open and close the door once everyone has arrived.
- How long
- About a few minutes of playing. The session itself lasts as long as the host sets, from an hour to a week, so nobody has to be at their phone at the same time.
- Kind of game
- Board games
- Suitable for
- Anyone. Nothing in it that anybody needs to be warned about.
- What is kept
- Everything written in a session is encrypted, and the whole session is deleted when it ends. What that means.
