I wandered into this site trying to find an opportunity to play an email
version of a game we used to call 'blitzkrieg,' which someone tells me
is technically 'kriegspiel', which I thought was available here. What
does it take to get a new game added?

Also--another variant I expect has not been tried by anyone since my best
friend & I played it ~1962... It was played on a subdivided chessboard
(16X16) with the pieces set up on a paper board (the raft) in the center.
The raft moved every time a piece slammed into an edge, as far and in the
same direction as the piece had moved. A 'cutter' in the center of the
board would destroy or separate cells as the raft moved across it...
Perhaps the game started with the board already in halves, in the center
of opposite edges (It's been awhile.) As the board got more split apart
much depended on how quickly various pieces could move oddly-shaped
fragments...
