New: Genetess (free, open-ended, email, human, modern, abstract) From: lindahl@pbm.com (Greg Lindahl) Date: Sat, 21 Jul 2001 07:13:00 +0000 Name: Genetess Email: bobbyk@bobbyk.demon.co.uk Frequency: Approximately weekly Type: Chess derivative - design your own pieces URL: http://www.bobbyk.demon.co.uk/genetess.html Costs: Free Last-Update: 2001Jul19 Keywords: free, open-ended, email, human, modern, abstract Description: Genetess is a pbem board game based loosely on chess in which you can create your own pieces as the game progresses. Each Genetess game (and there are several) is played on a different board, and players create and move their pieces in a series of turns until all bar one have lost their King. An all time high score table will be maintained, and many players are currently playing in several games at once. Each turn takes only a couple of minutes and on average comes around every 5 days. Full rules are on the website, so come take a look. And last but not least Genetess is, and will always remain, completely free :-) [ This is a new entry for the PBM List.
