Mike, it sounds interesting, the rules of ten points are pretty. Are you implementing a ZRF?. I have posted a ZRF for my game, named MORE10 (It is based on a game I have not published, MORE, but the rules and pieces movements in the new MORE10 are not the same, I have adapted it to ten squares, of course, trying to make a game not trivial, and it was a headache, due the board dimensions. I have tested the new game, and it is nice, the average number of moves to finish is around 20, but some games spent 30 moves or more. Zillions vs. Zillions have offered good games, but Zillion´s tendence is to make the same first moves before move 4 or 5, and it is not the only alternative, as I have tested in games Roberto vs. Zillions. I´m thinking on other entry, but in a bigger board (as lobby, it is a game with, at least, one enterely new and not conventional piece). I suppose there are other entries coming soon, at least Greg and Jared told us they are trying to prepare games. Let´s see.
