Hi There,

I’ve been playing Chinese Checkers and Nine Men’s Morris lately and had a thought of creating a hybrid version of both games. So I got my Nine Men’s board and Chinese Checkers pieces and thought what if I place 3 pieces on the outer perimeter and 3 in the middle perimeter (same on opposite side) how would that work.......so after I tried a play test with myself to get an idea how or if it works, I would say yes it works to a degree. I’m looking on thoughts on this idea of creating a hybrid or if something similar is out there that I can explore to get better inspired.

Here are some quick basic rules I used on my self play test:
Only move one space at a time
No jumping
No capture
No draws allowed

Thanks

So if there's no jumping and no capture.. what's the goal, and how does it relate to Chinese checkers? I'm guessing it's a 9-men's-morris board used where you're trying to get your pieces to the other side?

If that's what you have in mind, I'd mostly be worried that's it's too solvable, or that it could just stalemate too easily (with full freedom of movement and nothing that ever really forces the game toward an end)

Hey thanks for your reply. At the first initial play test I wanted to get a feel for the movement and see if I was going to encounter any major problems, of course trying to do this against myself might be a bit difficult. I will have jumping and capturing incorporated into the game, yes the idea is to reach the opposite side.
