Abstract Boardgame Site
Apparently my father’s friend has a website that contains a large assortment of interesting abstract boardgames (including descriptions and links to the rules) and java applets that allow you to play them online against a computer or another player. I didn’t recognize most of them, but gipf and its fellows were there and seemed pretty representative. For those of us who enjoy this sort of game, this could be an awesome way to waste time and meet likeminded people. Hey– if a bunch of us sign up, we might find each other. We could even use it to follow up on the longstanding notion of an online gaming SIG (presumably alongside other similar sites that support other games)…

I can barely wait to try this out. In fact, however, I am waiting … in a Hive room … right now. Joiners?
Sweet! It works! 2 games of Hive under my belt (although only one under my own login).
Look for me at Hive or Yinsh, until I learn some of these others.
