Black Path game - Alain Busser - 07-26-2023

The game is about lines (the same than Trax except they are black). It is a two players game. See on WP

Hi,

Did you make that game? Because I do not see a piece attached to your message.

No, I read about its existence in Berlekamp, Conway and Guy's book. But I plan to learn the ludii language trying to program games like this one.

The game has been created by Larry Black in 1960 (source: Martin Gardner). One constructs a path with monochrome Trax tiles, and the winner is the one who finishes the path (plus, the loser is the first one to make the path go to a border). So this is a connection game.
