Santiago's Games Page

Board, Card, Tile, and More

I enjoy all sorts of games, from traditional ones to new ones, and from games that take less than a minute to several hours to play. Below you can reach sections on games, some of which I've created material on, and others which I invented myself. After that are links to various game sites and companies.

Mah Jong - Information about and rules for playing Mah Jong, a traditional Chinese tile game similar to Gin Rummy (but more fun)
Orbs - An original board game you can play with only a Chinese Checkers board and some extra marbles. Simple to learn, hard to master...
Icehouse - Pictures of my Icehouse set, little pyramids used to play several strange games.
Magic: the Gathering
- Live-Draft Magic: the Gathering - A variant that lets you draft your deck during play; can be adapted to other similar games quite easily
- No-Land Magic: the Gathering - A variant that eliminates mana problems by letting you play spells as lands
Game Theory
- Drafting in Games - An article I had published in The Games Journal

Links to other sites on the Web
- Cheapass Games - James Ernest's little company that makes great games for under $5.
- Steve Jackson Games - All sorts of neat stuff, from board and card games to role-playing games.
- Looney Labs - The site for games by Andrew Looney, award-winning game designer and creator of Icehouse.
- Dragon's Lair - A great, friendly little game shop located in Austin, Texas.
