It requires 1 stash per player, for 2 players.~~ [[Image:Synapse-Ice.in.progress.jpg\|300px\|left]]<br> == Requirements == * 2 players * An icehouse stash for each player * A 5x6 rectangular grid. (A section of chess-board works well.) == Synopsis== The board starts out empty. The first player chooses any pieces from his stash and places it lying down on any square on the board, pointing to an empty space. A 3-point piece points to the square three steps away, a 2-pointer to the space two steps away, and a 1-pointer to the adjacent space. On each subsequent move, the next player must then place a piece in the square pointed to. This piece must also point to an empty space. The first player who is unable to make a move loses. == Sample Play == <br /> {\| style="text-align:center; border: 3px solid black; border-collapse:collapse; display: inline-table; vertical-align:middle;" \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::SPE\|green\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::SPS\|red\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::LPE\|green\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|&emsp;\|\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|&emsp;\|\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::SPS\|red\|3em}} \|- \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::MPS\|green\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::MPE\|green\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::MPW\|red\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::LPS\|red\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|&emsp;\|\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::LPW\|green\|3em}} \|- \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|&emsp;\|\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|:Star\|black\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::MPS\|red\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|&emsp;\|\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|&emsp;\|\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::LPW\|green\|3em}} \|- \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::LPN\|red\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::SPN\|red\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::LPN\|red\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|&emsp;\|\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|&emsp;\|\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::LPW\|green\|3em}} \|- \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|&emsp;\|\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::SPN\|green\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::LPE\|green\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::SPE\|green\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::LPW\|red\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::SPN\|red\|3em}} \|- \|}&emsp;&emsp; {\| style="text-align:left; display: inline-table; vertical-align:middle;" \|- \| {{PL\|&emsp;\|\|3em}} {{PL\|::MMM\|green\|6em}} {{PL\|::SS\|green\|6em}} <br /> {{PL\|::L\|red\|6em}} {{PL\|::MMM\|red\|6em}} {{PL\|::S\|red\|6em}} \|} In this example, Red has just played a 1-point piece pointing up to the space with the {{PL\|:Star\|black\|1em}}. Green has to play in the {{PL\|:Star\|black\|1em}}'ed space, and has only two options, a 1-point piece pointing left, or a 2-point piece pointing right. He could have played a 3-point piece to the right as well, but he's used all of his 3-pointer already. If he points left, red could play a 2-point piece facing down and win immediately. So he points right. {\| style="text-align:center; border: 3px solid black; border-collapse:collapse; display: inline-table; vertical-align:middle;" \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::SPE\|green\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::SPS\|red\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::LPE\|green\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|&emsp;\|\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|&emsp;\|\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::SPS\|red\|3em}} \|- \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::MPS\|green\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::MPE\|green\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::MPW\|red\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::LPS\|red\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|&emsp;\|\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::LPW\|green\|3em}} \|- \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|&emsp;\|\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::MPE\|green\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::MPS\|red\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|:Star\|black\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|&emsp;\|\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::LPW\|green\|3em}} \|- \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::LPN\|red\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::SPN\|red\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::LPN\|red\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|&emsp;\|\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|&emsp;\|\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::LPW\|green\|3em}} \|- \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|&emsp;\|\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::SPN\|green\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::LPE\|green\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::SPE\|green\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::LPW\|red\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::SPN\|red\|3em}} \|- \|}&emsp;&emsp; {\| style="text-align:left; display: inline-table; vertical-align:middle;" \|- \| {{PL\|&emsp;\|\|3em}} {{PL\|::MM\|green\|6em}} {{PL\|::SS\|green\|6em}} <br /> {{PL\|::L\|red\|6em}} {{PL\|::MMM\|red\|6em}} {{PL\|::S\|red\|6em}} \|} Red now has 4 options, 3-left, 2-up, 1-right, and 1-down. She selects 1-right. {\| style="text-align:center; border: 3px solid black; border-collapse:collapse; display: inline-table; vertical-align:middle;" \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::SPE\|green\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::SPS\|red\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::LPE\|green\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|&emsp;\|\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|&emsp;\|\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::SPS\|red\|3em}} \|- \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::MPS\|green\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::MPE\|green\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::MPW\|red\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::LPS\|red\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|&emsp;\|\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::LPW\|green\|3em}} \|- \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|&emsp;\|\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::MPE\|green\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::MPS\|red\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::SPE\|red\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|:Star\|black\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::LPW\|green\|3em}} \|- \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::LPN\|red\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::SPN\|red\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::LPN\|red\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|&emsp;\|\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|&emsp;\|\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::LPW\|green\|3em}} \|- \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|&emsp;\|\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::SPN\|green\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::LPE\|green\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::SPE\|green\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::LPW\|red\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::SPN\|red\|3em}} \|- \|}&emsp;&emsp; {\| style="text-align:left; display: inline-table; vertical-align:middle;" \|- \| {{PL\|&emsp;\|\|3em}} {{PL\|::MM\|green\|6em}} {{PL\|::SS\|green\|6em}} <br /> {{PL\|::L\|red\|6em}} {{PL\|::MMM\|red\|6em}} \|} Green can choose 2-up, 1-up, or 1-down. He goes for 1 up, a mistake. (The next few moves are forced, so we'll skip ahead on the diagrams.) Red has no choice, she must play 2-down. And that leaves Green with no choice, gotta play 1-left. Red then plays 3-up (her only move) leaving us with this situation: {\| style="text-align:center; border: 3px solid black; border-collapse:collapse; display: inline-table; vertical-align:middle;" \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::SPE\|green\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::SPS\|red\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::LPE\|green\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|:Star\|black\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|&emsp;\|\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::SPS\|red\|3em}} \|- \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::MPS\|green\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::MPE\|green\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::MPW\|red\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::LPS\|red\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::MPS\|red\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::LPW\|green\|3em}} \|- \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|&emsp;\|\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::MPE\|green\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::MPS\|red\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::SPE\|red\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::SPN\|green\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::LPW\|green\|3em}} \|- \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::LPN\|red\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::SPN\|red\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::LPN\|red\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::LPN\|red\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::SPW\|green\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::LPW\|green\|3em}} \|- \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|&emsp;\|\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::SPN\|green\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::LPE\|green\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::SPE\|green\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::LPW\|red\|3em}} \|style="border: 3px solid black;"\|{{PL\|::SPN\|red\|3em}} \|- \|}&emsp;&emsp; {\| style="text-align:left; display: inline-table; vertical-align:middle;" \|- \| {{PL\|&emsp;\|\|3em}} {{PL\|::MM\|green\|6em}}<br /> {{PL\|&emsp;\|\|3em}} {{PL\|::MM\|red\|6em}} \|} Green has no legal move, and so Red wins! If he had played it right in the third diagram, Green could have forced a win. Of course, if Red had played it right in the ''second'' diagram, she could have forced a win first. I'll leave figuring out the right moves in each of these situations as an exercise for the reader. '''Synapse-Ice''' was designed by Joseph Kisenwether in 2005, based on the paper-and-pencil game ''Synapse''. == External Links == Line 34 ⟶ 229: [[Category:Non-stacking]] [[Category:5HOUSE]] [[Category:Games playable with Homeworlds Set]]
