Richard's Play-By-eMail Server is proud to welcome a bevy of new games
to its growing family of games!

Connect4
    On a 7x6 board, two players alternate dropping their pieces from the top
    of the board, down a column, attempting to form four in a row.

Connect4x4
    On an 8x8 board, two players alternate inserting their pieces fron the
    edges of the board, across a row or up/down a column, attempting to form
    four in a row.

Gomoku
    On a 15x15 board, the two players of gomoku try to be the first
    to create a line of 5 or more stones in a row of their color.

Pente
    On a 19x19 board, the two players of pente try to be the first
    to create a line of 5 or more stones in a row of their color *or*
    try to capture 5 pairs of their opponents stones.  You capture
    a pair of stones any time you sandwich the stones between a
    pair of your stones.

Qubic
    On a 4x4x4 grid, two players alternate placing their pieces, attempting
    to form four in a row in any direction.

Score4
    On a 4x4 grid of pegs, two players alternate dropping their pieces from
    the top of a peg, down a column, attempting to form four in a row in any
    direction.

Survival
    Survival is played on a hexagonal board made up of 19 numbered hexagons.
    Two players take turns placing pieces on the board with the "arrow" of
    the piece dictating the direction in which the next piece played by that
    player must be played.  The first player who can not move loses the game.
