  • Svick Czech Card Game


    It came up in some discussions today about an old card game called "Svick" that was played about 35 years ago. We can’t really remember how this game was played, or all the rules to it, so I took on the job of trying to find out more about it. Unfortunately, Google cannot find anything (And autocorrects it to "Stick") beside a single reference of the game. We are unsure if the game is a Czech game, or from somewhere else.

    Here it is: https://www.tributearchive.com/obituaries/19962741/Donald-Donnie-Klanecky

    If anyone knows of the game, would they be able to provide information, or even a webpage about it?

  • Can anyone identify this Yukon solitaire variant?


    So since I was a kid my grandma has always been playing the same kind of solitaire. But no one knows the name. After some digging I found out it must be some form of Yukon.

    Deck:
    Standard 52 card deck with no jokers.

    Deal:
    7 rows, first card face up, then 6 cards face down, repeat til the base is filled face up.
    Then deal the rest of the cards on the six rows (face up) and let the first row stand alone with one card. (face up)

    Play:
    Same way as standard yukon, except you can only put the same type on each other in decending order: five of spades on six of spades etc.

    Goal:
    Build 4 foundations with ace at the foundation and building upwards from there in the same suit and type.

    I play this all the time and would love to know the name!

  • The board game from *The Book*


    In The Book, a fictional “Guide to Rebuilding Civilization”, which freely mixes factual and imaginary concepts and objects, one double page is a devoted to a board game.

    I have only access to the Italian translation; here the game is described on pages 372-3 and is called La griglia (literally, “The grid”). It is a 2-player game on a 5×8 board with ten tokens for each player, five initially on the board and five to be added in later moves. Enemy pieces are captured by creating a row of own pieces, that allows one to “shoot” at an enemy piece as far as the row is long (if I understand correctly). The goal is to be the first to take five enemy tokens.

    Does anyone know more details about this game? Is it an existing game or was it invented for the book? (Of course, it has in any case elements of many historical board games.)

  • Solitaire with the long middle column


    This game was taught to me years ago, using a regular deck of cards.

    Setup:

    • Columns 1,2,3: lay 1 card face up
    • Column 4: 6 cards down and the 7th up
    • Columns 5,6,7: 1 up.
    • The very next card goes up to the foundation and that is your starting number.

    Play:

    • The foundation pile alternate between red and black going up,
    • the columns alternate between red and black going down
    • Column 4: can ONLY be played in the foundation.
    • Also you can only go through the deck once

  • American checkers largest possible number of legal move choices from any board position


    I want to know what is the maximum number of legal move choices from any board position, in the game of checkers, assuming official rules.

    I’m creating a program that plays checkers, and for performance reasons, I need to know in advance the largest number of legal moves. I expect it to be quite low, like under 50, but just making a guess is not an option for me.

    I searched for this, but couldn’t find an answer. Maybe I missed something.

    Edit:

    Thinking for a moment, I think (one of) the largest theoretical number(s) of legal moves might be where all 12 pieces are kings, like in the position W:WK5,K6,K7,K8,K13,K14,K15,K16,K21,K22,K23,K24:BK30, which has 42 legal moves. That position is not valid and is not possible to occur. I’m more interested though in the largest possible moves from a valid checkers position. An upper bound might be fine.

  • Do cards I give to other players keep their +1/+1 counters?


    If I have Laelia, the Blade Reforged with 12 +1/+1 counters on it, and a player gets it through Illicit Auction, does Laelia, the Blade Reforged keep its +1/+1 counters?

  • What do raiders attack if there are multiple targets in the same category?


    The rules for activating raiders say:

    When activated, each Cylon raider carries out only one of the
    actions listed below, taking only the first action that it is able
    to perform (in numerical priority, with “Attack a Viper” taking
    the highest priority and “Attack Galactica” taking the lowest)

    1. Attack a Viper:
      area. It attacks an unmanned viper if able; otherwise it attacks a piloted viper.
    2. If there are no vipers in its area, the Destroy Civilian Ship:
      raider destroys one civilian ship in its area. The current
      player chooses a civilian ship in the area and flips it over.
      The resources listed on its face are lost, and the token is
      removed from the game.
      …

    These rules leave ambiguous which ship is targeted within these categories. Which ship do raiders attack when there are multiple ships that can be targeted that are different? This can happen in two cases I’m aware of:

    1. There are multiple piloted vipers in the same space area (which matters for who gets sent to sickbay if there is a hit)
    2. There is an unpiloted viper and an unpiloted assault raptor in the same space area (the rules for assault raptors say they are treated as vipers, so these are both unpiloted vipers from a priority standpoint, and this matters in terms of difficulty to hit)

  • How does the interaction between Thalia, Heretic Cathar and Castle Embereth resolve?


    I am interested in the interaction between Thalia, Heretic Cathar which is already on the battlefield and Castle Embereth, a non-basic land that is being played by an opponent and now enters the battlefield.

    The two cards conflict with each other on what will happen. There is a ruling from 2016 which states that the effect of Thalia "wins", so that Castle Embereth enters the battlefield tapped.

    I would like to know which rules in the Comprehensive Rules explain this result. Both cards create continuous effects that are also replacement effects. If one applies rule 613.9, the timestamp criterion determines that Castle Embereth would "win", which is obviously not the case.

    Does it perhaps have something to do with the fact Castle Embereth says: "This land enters tapped unless you control a mountain." The word "unless" is perhaps less specific in its consequences then if it had said "except if" or "but not if".

  • Can I use Brokers Hideout with a Simic Commander?


    Can I include the card Brokers Hideout in a commander deck, where the commander does not have a white color identity? For example Zimone, Mystery Unraveler

    I know that I cannot include Plains cards in the deck, but as Plains have color identity white, does that word appearing the card text prevent me from including Brokers Hideout in my deck?

  • Is it ever possible to live within an eye?


    Suppose my opponent has a group with an eye of an arbitrarily large size. Is it ever possible to play within that eye and live? For instance, suppose a 19×19 board, with black stones occupying every corner and edge position. Can white live inside?
