Terrace and Tanbo are on-line From: rognlie@lute.gcr.com (Richard W. Rognlie) Date: Thu, 20 Apr 1995 00:00:00 +0000 I am pleased to announce that Richard's PBeM Server now supports Terrace and Tanbo along with the other games it supports (Trax, Twixt, Hex, Abalone and C++Robots). For help, send a mail message to pbmserv@vtsu.prc.com with 'help' as the subject line. Richard Terrace ((c) Siler&Siler Industries) On a terraced 8x8 board, 2 to 4 players take turns attempting to either capture their opponents' key pieces or moving their own key piece to the opposite low corner. The board is terraced so that two opposite corners are low (level 1), and two corners are high (level 8). Unusual movement and capture rules make this game interesting. Tanbo ((c) 1995 Mark Steere) Played on a Go board, Tanbo crudely models a system of plant roots. Roots which are growing, competing for space, and dying. In beginner play, the roots grow much as the roots in a garden. Over time, the roots become shrewd and calculating. To win, a player must eliminate all eight of his opponent's roots. One player will always win. It's impossible to repeat a board configuration in Tanbo. Therefore a game cannot result in a draw. -- /\/\/\ | Richard Rognlie / Sr. Computer Analyst / PRC Inc. / McLean, VA / \ \ \ | E-Mail: rognlie@gcr.com rrognlie@vtsu.prc.com \ / / / | Phone: (Home) (703) 361-4764 (Office) (703) 556-2458 \/\/\/ | (Fax) (703) 556-1174 Up
