I have been sitting  by myself with a handful of toys on a jumped up cardtable in a dingy backroom on a rainy day, draft rules and pen in hand .....

The good news is that all aspects are coming together with nothing wasted after a year of pleasant if occasionally frustrating exploration and experimentation. Rules, comments and plans later this week.


But if toy soldiers in grass or on small gridded boards don't do it for you, there is always this magical game from Scheck  played outside (on a table) last July. Can't believe it slipped past me at the time.

Admit it now, in our heads, don't  we all imagine that our games look like this? Even the simple bare bones ones? Wishful thinking my friends! There is hard work and genius behind such magic.
Go look at some more.
