Recently I released a new version of my game "Cards Golf". This major update brings a new game - Scat (Thirty One).

The Rules are very simple:

The objective of the game is to have a hand equal to or as close to 31 as possible.

1. At the beginning of a round each player receives 3 cards. The remaining deck forms that stock and it is place in the middle of the play area. The top card of the stock is flipped over, placed beside it and becomes the discard pile.
2. When it is their turn, players choose to either pick a card from the stock or from the discard pile and then they must discard one of their cards, all in an attempt to get a hand as close or equal to 31. Only cards of the same suit or a three of a kind count as points.
3. When a player is comfortable with their hand, they knock on the table. All other players then have one more draw to try and improve their hand. At any time, if a player collects 31 points the immediately opponent loses the round.
4. The player with the lowest hand loses for that round. If the player who knocks has the lowest hand, they give up a lost of 2 rather than 1. When a player loses 4 times, they are out of the game.

Scoring:

• Aces are worth 11 points
• Kings, Queens and Jacks are worth 10 points
• Every other card is worth their rank
• A three of a kind is worth 30 points

Hi there,

I would like to present my new game. It is Seega - a board game from Egypt.

Seega is a small battle game played in Egypt in the 19th and 20th centuries. Two players drop pieces onto a board, leaving only the central square empty, after which pieces are moved around the board from one square to the next. Pieces are captured by surrounding them on opposite sides, and the player who captures all of the opponent's pieces wins the game.

Have fun!

Hi, folks.

Finally, I released a new milestone version of Cards Golf game. In this version I added once more variant of game - Four Cards Golf.

Rules:

Each game consist of nine rounds. At the beginning of a round each player receives 4 cards face down, all cards left are put in a draw pile. One card from the draw pile is put in a discard pile, face up.

Before the play begins, players can look, only once, at the two cards nearest to them in their square layout. These cards must be kept secret from other players. Players may not look at the cards in their layout again unless they are discarding them during play or scoring them at the end of the game.

On their turn, players may draw a card from the draw pile. You may use this card to replace any four cards in your layout, but you cannot look at the face of the card you are replacing. Try and remember which card is the replacement. Move the card you choose to replace in your layout to the discard pile of face up cards. You can draw from this pile and simply discard the card, face-up, without using it.

Players may draw a card from the discard pile. Since these cards are face-up, you must use one to replace a card in your layout, then discard it. You may not put the drawn card back in the pile without changing your layout.

Players can also choose to knock. After you knock your turn is over. Play moves on in a normal fashion, other players may draw or discard, but they cannot knock. The round ends afterward.

Scoring:

• Any pairs of cards (of the same value) in a column or a row are worth 0 points
• Jokers are worth -2 points
• Kings are worth 0 points
• Queens and Jacks are worth 10 points
• Every other card is worth their rank
• All 4 of the same card are worth -6 points

Hi there,

I added recently a new game to my "Mancala games" set. It's Congkak - a game from Southeast Asia.

Rules:

Each player controls the six holes on the side of the board to their left, and their score is the number of seeds in their store holes. Six seeds are placed in each small hole except for the players' store hole. The objective of the game is to capture more seeds in the store than one's opponent.

Both players begin simultaneously by scooping up all the seeds in any hole on their side. Each drops a seed into the next hole and continues clockwise depositing one seed into every hole thereafter. A player drops a seed into his store each time he passes it but does not deposit any into his opponent's store.

How the game continues, depends on where the last seed of each scoop is deposited.

• If the seed drops into the player’s own store: the player scoops up the seeds from any of his holes and distributes them in the holes round the board but not in his opponent's store.

• If the seed drops into a hole (on either side of the board) containing seed: The player scoops up all the seeds in that hole and continues distributing them as described above.

• If the seed drops into the player’s hole which is without seeds: The player is entitled to collect the seeds in his opponent's store directly opposite his own. These seeds collected from his opponent's holes together with his last seed are deposited in his own store. If the opponent's store opposite his own is empty, he deposits only his last seed in his own store. He forfeits his turn and stops playing. It is the opponent's turn now to distribute the seeds.

• If the seed drops into an empty hole belonging to the opponent: the player forfeits his turn and stops playing. He also forfeits his seeds and leaves it in the opponent's hole. It is the opponent's turn now to distribute the seeds.

It's General (or Generala) - a Latin American version of the commercial game of Yahtzee (or Yacht).  The object of the game is to fill in each category on the score sheet and make the highest score. In the General game the follow categories are used: ones, twos, threes, fours, fives, sixes, straight, full house, poker, general.

I would like to present my next game - Five Field Kono (오밭고누).

It's a Korean abstract strategy game. As in Chinese checkers or Halma, a player wins by moving all of their pieces into the starting locations of their opponent's pieces. 

The players take turns moving one of their pieces one square diagonally. The first player to move all of their pieces to their opponent's starting squares wins.
You can play against:
- AI (three different levels)
- your friends on the same device
- your friends over the Internet (online)

I would like to present my next game -  Filler Classic. It's realization of well-known DOS-game Filler (aka Seven colors).

You play against a human or computer opponent on a field with color squares. Your goal is to occupy as many squares as possible. Elements of the selected color are occupied if they are adjacent (have common edge) to the already
occupied squares. But you cannot select the current color of your opponent.

Here is a small demo of the game:

I would like to present my Android-app with two dice games: Dice Dodge & Pig.

Dice Dodge is a dice game related to those in the jeopardy family, which includes Pig and Farkle.

However, instead of the choices being "keep rolling" or "stop", one must choose whether to roll dices along a column, row, or across the entire board in order to maximize their chances of winning.

Pig is a small and funny game for two player. In this game your goal is to earn 100 or more points.

For both games you can play with your friends or Android on the same device. Also you can participate in the daily tournaments of Dice Dodge and compare your results with results of other players.

I am going to add more dice games in this pack.

Here is a small video for the Dice Dodge game.
