Games of the World: Dots, from the school exercise book to a rating
Squared paper and two pens: surrounding, houses and grounding. Not to be confused with Dots and Boxes. A sports club with a rulebook, millions of casual players — and our check of whether moving first gives an advantage.
Games of the World: Ugolki, Halma for an ordinary checkers board
Nine pieces in a corner and a race to the opponent's home: how to play, the 40 and 80 move deadlines, ladders and stragglers, the family of variants — and where to play right now.
Games of the World: Chinese checkers — neither Chinese nor checkers
From the English Hoppity and the American Halma to the German star of 1892 and a marketing name from 1928. How to play, why six players make it a different game — and where to play it right now.
Games of the World: togyz kumalak, the nine stones of the steppe
Kazakhstan's national game: 162 stones, the first stone back into its own hole, the captured “tuzdyk” hole and victory at 82. On the UNESCO list since 2020 — and we are already building it for the club.
Zonen und Föderation: Was sich im Club ändert
Der Club lebt in zwei Zonen, vogclub.com und vogclub.ru, verbunden durch eine Föderation. Was Sie davon haben, welche Einschränkungen gelten und warum das ein Schritt zu Plattformen für Clubs und Verbände ist.
Games of the World: Ludo, from Indian Pachisi to a billion phones
Cowrie shells and Akbar's living pieces, an English patent of 1896, Germany's “Don't Get Angry” and Ludo King. Why Ludo is not in our near-term plans yet — and which races to play instead.
Games of the World: games of the Indigenous peoples of the Americas
Aztec patolli, Maya bul, the Haudenosaunee bowl game and slahal: how they are played, why we will not make online versions — and how to play bul at home with four corn kernels.
Games of the World: mus, Spain's game of cards and gestures
We start a series about games from different countries. Mus: a Basque card game for two pairs, four contests in one deal, the all-in “órdago” and allowed signals to your partner — and why we are considering it.
Go: from 9×9 to 19×19, with handicaps and byo-yomi
19×19, 13×13 and 9×9 boards, Japanese and Chinese rules, handicaps and byo-yomi, counting with dead stones marked automatically, six KataGo bots from 20 kyu to very strong, a study room and tournaments.
