five sides (new pen and paper game)

Hi, Super!

I tried this game out a couple of times-- it really took me back to my grade school days. :)

Game-wise, I think it's totally fine! We played a few rounds and it gets pretty intense trying to measure off some way to squeeze in that last pentagon.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks screech. I have many games like this one. I’m thinking about writing a book just full of the games I have made up. To be honest I have only gotten to play test this game twice. But I’m glad it's playing out as well for you as it has for me.

Nice game.

I like creative use of space.

I recommend a slight adjustment - allowing each player a total of 5 lines to draw each. This limitation intensifies the gameplay and allows for opportunites to "set the other player" up in order to capitalize on their lines.

Peace,

Yes, exactly!

I was trying to think of a way to make the game end more decisively, and I was imagining all sorts of complicated rules and devices to change scoring, or end the game based on percentages, etc. and these are all far too messy. A simple line limit rule is best, tho I think 5 lines might be too few. Meh, the exact number can be determined by more play testing.

Great idea RAF.
