Dodgem sign-up and peanut gallery

[ceptimus]

Anyone fancy trying a game of Dodgem?

This is a deceptively simple game - one player plays the right arrow pieces on each move this player can move one of the pieces right, up or down, but never left.

The other player plays the up arrow pieces on each move this player can move one of the pieces up left or right, but never down.

The start position looks like this:

Dodgem

The pieces can exit the board at the right hand side - similarly the pieces can exit at the top.

The winner is the first player who is unable to make a move, so you win by getting all your pieces across (and off) the board, or if your opponent makes a move that results in all your pieces being blocked.

With a 3x3 grid, the game is already more complex than you might at first imagine, but we can always go up to a 4x4 or 5x5 etc. if we become expert.

I'd be willing to give the game a shot. The worst I can do is lose badly.

I'll play a game when you are done or when someone else shows up.

Okay I'll start a game thread. I've never played before either, so we start off with equal experience!

You can go first if you wish MonCap, and you can choose whether you want to play the or pieces.

You can go first ceptimus as I have no table setting skills.
