Patterns II is a pencil and paper game developed by Sid Sackson for 3 or more players. It emphasizes the use of inductive logic and scientific analysis to discover a hidden pattern of symbols within a matrix of grid spaces.
A 2-spot game of Sprouts. The game ends when the first player is unable to draw a connecting line between the only two free points, marked in green. The game is played by two players, [2] starting with a few spots drawn on a sheet of paper. Players take turns, where each turn consists of drawing a line between two spots (or from a spot to ...
Hangman, a simple pen-and-paper game. Paper-and-pencil games or paper-and-pen games (or some variation on those terms) are games that can be played solely with paper and pencils (or other writing implements), usually without erasing. They may be played to pass the time, as icebreakers, or for brain training. [1] In recent times, they have been ...
An abstract strategy game is a board, card or other game where game play does not simulate a real world theme, and a player's decisions affect the outcome.Many abstract strategy games are also combinatorial, i.e. they provide perfect information, and rely on neither physical dexterity nor random elements such as rolling dice or drawing cards or tiles.
A game of dots and boxes. Dots and boxes is a pencil-and-paper game for two players (sometimes more). It was first published in the 19th century by French mathematician Édouard Lucas, who called it la pipopipette. [1] It has gone by many other names, [2] including dots and dashes, game of dots, [3] dot to dot grid, [4] boxes, [5] and pigs in a ...
Games with concealed rules are games where the rules are intentionally concealed from new players, either because their discovery is part of the game itself, or because the game is a hoax and the rules do not exist. In fiction, the counterpart of the first category are games that supposedly do have a rule set, but that rule set is not disclosed.
An incomplete game of SOS. SOS is paper and pencil game for two or more players. It is similar to tic-tac-toe and dots and boxes, but has much greater complexity. [1] SOS is a combinatorial game when played with two players. In terms of game theory, it is a zero-sum, sequential game with perfect information.
The game of Sim is one example of a Ramsey game. Other Ramsey games are possible. For instance, the players can be allowed to color more than one line during their turns. Another Ramsey game similar to Sim and related to the Ramsey number R(4, 4) = 18 is played on 18 vertices and the 153 edges between them. The two players must avoid to color ...
