Knights of Fury game proposal
My first intention was to write about rules of new games (implemented yesterday) but since the rules are still not posted yet (due to more important work to do) :-D, let me present another game idea of Andy Lewicki:
I would like to propose a fast adaptation of Knight Fight, this time on a smaller board, 8x8. It was suggested by some players that 8x8 may have some advantage over 10x10 board - frankly, it was my original idea which I gave up for a bigger board due to elegant usage of all digits from 0-9. Board 8x8 has its own limitations because the numbers with digits 7,8,9 cannot have their own mirrors. So, I had to modify some usage of these numbers. Rules are basically the same as for Knight Fight so let me talk about differences.
Out of 64 numbers there are:
Management of these sets:
This game is very aggressive and fast moving due to relatively large number of non-mirror numbers and list of choices we will have. The board is smaller and this also contributes to the pace of this game.
My own opinion is that a game of this kind can satisfy players who like (as the author says) an aggressive fight which can be quickly over, so the games would not last weeks, months or even years. Which is what most users really like.
Comments please.

Rules are basically the same as for Knight Fight so let me talk about differences.
Out of 64 numbers there are:
- 40 numbers that have their mirrors (example: 34-43)
- 18 numbers that do not have their mirrors (example: 27-72)
- 5 doubled numbers (11,22,33,44,55)
- 1 STRANGE number, namely 56, which for this game is attached to doubled numbers - that's the only number that doesn't have 7,8, or 9 in it, but still its mirror goes beyond the set of numbers from 1-64
Management of these sets:
- Numbers with mirrors behave exactly like in Knight Fight (mirror is taken out of the board)
- Numbers without mirrors behave exactly like doubled numbers in Knight Fight (after jumping on non-mirror numbers, player is asked to choose another non-mirror number to be taken out of the board)
- 5 doubled plus number 56 ( there is no consequence after jumping on these numbers)
This game is very aggressive and fast moving due to relatively large number of non-mirror numbers and list of choices we will have. The board is smaller and this also contributes to the pace of this game.

I'm a bit confused from the description of this game.
I guess that the nummers 01 to 64 are used?
OK but why not use 00 to 63 instead then you have an additional double number which no longer requires to make 56 into a strange number.

thanks for your comment ... the problem is, that you are not going to escape from "56" problem ... you remove 64 from the pool of mirror numbers and there will be 39 of them ... at the same time your doubled will have 6 numbers ... so we gain nothing ... I would like to keep even numbers of these 3 sets:
mirrors, non-mirrors and doubled just for the sake of estehtics (or my prefectionism, lol) ... either we add it to doubled or mirrored set ... to keep them even ... let me think more what we can do.

just to continue this discussion ... here is what we may do ...
1. use numbers from 00-63
2. use 6 doubled numbers (00,11,22,33,44,55) exactly the same way as in Knight Fight ...
3. use 18 non-mirror numbers in distinct groups:
07-17-27-37-47-57
08-18-28-38-48-58
09-19-29-39-49-59
one group has 7 as an indicator, next one 8 and the last one 9.
Now, when the Knight lands on let's say 38, all the numbers with 8 will be displayed to choose to eliminate them ... exatly the same way as doubled in Knight Fight ...
4. Give up the idea of using mirrored numbers on this board.
5. Non-mirrored numbers and doubled add up to 24 numbers out of 64 which is 37 percent of all of the squares ... that should be enough for this small board to have a chance to strategically outsmart the opponent ...
6. there wil be 40 free numbers to choose from when jumping,
without additional fields to be eliminated.
Let's try this settings.
Regards,
Andy.

I like this last variation by dicepro more than the original proposal.
Moreover, please add more historical or regional estrategic games, at least one out of 10 new ones. Thanks.
