Tripoley

=> BoardGameGeek

NOTE: we have been playing Tripoley at our house for years (over a decade). We have our OWN set of rules! (yes, the do not match the videos online that show how to play).

Everyone gets two racks of poker chips of the color of their choice (we have over 10 colors)

To start a hand, everyone puts one chip of their color on each of the spots on the tripoley board:

Doomlings

Doomlings is a fairly quick game played with a unique card system (over 100 different cards). It is just going into manufacturing now and should be delivered in December.

I liked it so much that I created a website for it … which now has over 150 articles!

And the game designers even sent me a prototype of the game! So we can play it now! Anytime we want! I’m ready for a game of Doomlings!

More info about Doomlings? Just visit my website (use the Quick Guide links to get a taste for the game)

Mill (an ancient two player game)

=> BoardGameGeek

I remember playing Mill in Grade School. It is not a game that you “buy”. You simply draw your own game board on a piece of paper or even in the sand at a beach. Just draw three squares, one inside another inside another. Then draw circles at the corners of all the squares. Then draw a line through the middle of each of the four sides to connect the squares to each other putting circles at the connection points. Voila. You have your game board:

Next … you need 9 markers for each of the two players. One could use pennies the other use nickels. Or one could use white poker chips and the other use red poker chips. Or use colored stones. Your choice :)

The game starts by alternating placing a marker on the board until all 18 markers have been placed. Then turns alternate moving a marker from one spot to another along a line.

Three of one players markers in a row or column is called a “mill” and is “safe” (ie, the opponent cannot take a marker that is part of a mill).
