Games
I've always had a keen interest in abstract board games, puzzles and mathematical recreations in general, and started designing my own board games around 2000.
This page lists some of my games. More are listed in my BoardGameGeek entry.

Shibumi Set The Shibumi set is a minimalist game system created for experiments in automated game design. The idea was to create a system so constrained that its rule set could be fully defined, giving the computer the same access to the design space as a human inventor, yet still provide interesting games. We've already asked designers to invent the best
games they can for the system... soon it will be
the computer's turn! More details here.

Connection Games My book Connection Games: Variations on a Theme from AK Peters has been well received, and is now the definitive text on the topic. See my connection games page for more details. Hex, the genesis of most
connection games, is a remarkable board game with
some interesting mathematical properties. |

available for online play there, and many can be played
