:Initial testing says no.

Revision as of 03:48, 18 May 2018
This is the first game I have designed for multiple game systems: Looney Pyramids, Piecepack, and Sly (also known as Realm). The versions are titled Tink, Tingle, and Ting, respectively. This is the first version I've posted anywhere. - Chris Goodwin (talk) 17:47, 16 May 2018 (PDT)
The wheel board
Would Tink work (even with 2-3 players) on the wheel board? It would be four spaces "in a row" on that board. Diagonal would mean any two spaces that share a corner. Must try this! - Chris Goodwin (talk) 18:57, 16 May 2018 (PDT)

Playtesting
Game 1, Orange vs. Yellow
Yellow eventually won with four in a row.
Game 2, Orange/Yellow/Green
The game went on for a while. The board got crowded enough that Green was forced to play their final piece, a small. Orange looked at the stashes and realized that everyone else was out of pieces. Orange dropped a small on a random square and won the game by elimination.
General impressions
This is a tough game. Resources are tight, and sometimes a player has to make a move they absolutely don't want to, in order to return pieces so that they can keep playing. I like this a lot.
