Brothers

Rectangle vs L-Shape

Two brothers – one breeds blue Wabbits in rectangular pens, the other breeds white Gobballs in L-shaped pens, both pens are made up from three squares – rival for room for their pens on the meadows. Twelve meadow tiles in seven different shapes – made up from four to nine squares - form the stock.

In Phase I players alternate adding a tile from stock to the meadow. Newly placed tiles must connect to the existing meadow with at least one edge; tiles cannot overlap but you can leave gaps.

In Phase II, the players alternate to place one of their pens on the meadow. The Wabbit-Player begins; again, tiles cannot overlap and must be aligned with the meadow squares underneath, that is, they cannot be placed in any angular rotation. They also cannot exceed the contours of the meadow or cover eventual gaps in the meadow. If one player cannot place a pen anymore, the other one continues until he also cannot place a pen. If both cannot place a pen or the meadow is full, the round ends. The Wabbit player scores one point for each pen he could not place, the Gobball player scores two points. After a second, identical round, but with swapped pen shapes, you win with fewest points.

In a game of four players in two teams each player takes six pen tiles of the team’s pen type; players cannot talk about meadow tile or pen placement. After round 1, the pens are swapped, and the scoring is done as in a game for two players.

Simply nice! The design comes from the Krosmaster universe the mechanism is easy and standard, and the only question is – do I concentrate on hindering my opponent or on optimum placement of my pens?
