Quarters Board Game project is a strategy game for two players.

Although its rules are relatively simple, it still offers some of the same opportunities for skill as in chess.

This program was originally conceived in the summer of 1986 during a study of the mini-max algorithm for chess playing computers, and was thus designed to offer some of the same type of strategies.

The game was originally written in BASIC, then ported to Turbo Pascal, then to C, and finally to Java.

The Java version is not necessarily object oriented, since it is a crude port from the C version.

BoardGame Tool provides a C++ front-end/Python back-end for running board games.
It features an easy and flexible interface to interact with the players and has transparent support for network or AI-controlled games.
Through a clear XML interface, games elements can be specified. Using an easy-to-learn back-end language like Python for rule implementations makes it very easy to implement, adjust, or enhance rules that come with a game.
The same back-end language can be used easily for simple or complex AI implementations.
Main features:
- XML specification with DTD validation for game definition
- Easy-to-learn Python programming for rule implementation
- Integrated and transparent network play
- Network chat with selected players
- Simple interface for programming AI players
- Extensive support for image formats
- Runtime scaling of images, allowing easy application of anything as gamepiece
Games currently implemented:
- Chess
- Go
Enhancements:
- This release includes the data archive with correct licensing information for the Fergus Duniho abstract chess piece set.

Chain Reaction (aka Critical Mass, aka Atoms) is an addictive, multi-player board game. Lee Haywoods Chain Reaction is easy to learn to play. There is a computer player (for 2 player games only).
- Players take turns to add units (blobs) of their colour to either an empty cell or a cell they already occupy.
- Once the number of blobs in a cell equals the number of neighbouring cells - 2 in a corner, 3 along an edge and 4 elsewhere - the blobs explode, adding 1 blob to each neighbour and leaving the original cell empty.
- The neigbouring cell may then have enough blobs to explode as well - making their neigbours explode, and so on - a chain reaction.
- Any blobs affected by the chain reaction change colour to that of the person making the move - this is how other players cells are taken.
- Wipe out your opponent(s) and win - eventually someone is going to win because the total number of blobs increases by 1 with each move, gradually filling the board.
Main features:
- Provides a high-quality computer player (for a single opponent).
- Allows between 2 and 6 players.
- Graphical implementation - can be played either in a window or in full-screen mode.
- Configurable for different screen resolutions, allowing massive boards to be used.
- Audio support for both sound-cards and simple beeps/bells.
- Features a grid editor.
- Automatically moves the mouse pointer back to the current players last position.
- Indicates where each player last went.
- Shows progress indicators for each player and for the whole game.
- Player names may be entered and saved.
- Players can choose their favourite colour to play with.
- Foreground and background skins may be changed.
- Saved states can be automatically loaded when the program starts.
Game options:
- Provides the ability to undo and redo all moves.
- Games in progress can be saved and resumed later.
- Locks keyboard and mouse controls individually for each player.
- Players can stick with their favourite colour when the order of play is changed.
- Sound can be turned on and off during a game (for both samples and beeps).

KBoard is a generic game interface for two player turn based board games, and currently supports a bunch of chess variants, connect four, reversi and chain reaction (and more will be added). Kboard also supports network chess play on ics servers, as well as game observation and examination.
We have implemented a quite powerful generic animation engine, and a highly customizable theme specification (based on lua), that can just load everything and create shadows (default theme is SVG, skulls theme too).
At the moment the released code is only based on Qt4, so it should be quite portable, but we will make use of Kde when available in future releases.
Generic game support:
Many board games can be easily implemented using the extensible KBoard infrastructure. So far, the following board games are implemented:
- Chess
- Crazyhouse
- Atomic
- Monster Chess (King and four pawns)
- Progressive Chess
- Reversi
- Connect Four
- Chain Reaction

Qleuren project is a Qt-based MasterMind clone.
Qleuren is a Qt-based MasterMind clone with a user-interface that tries to look and feel like a real-world board game.
The colored pegs can be dragged to any place on the game board. Alternatively the pegs can be moved to the first usable spot on the board by right-clicking them.
Main features:
- Non-configurable game rules; just straight classic rules without double colors in the hidden code.
- Moving pegs automatically (right- or double-clicking them ) is animated. This animation is optional and the speed can be adjusted.
Enhancements:
- Fixed bug that prevented putting a peg in a place where there was a pegged remove previously from that place.

gPlanarity is a simple puzzle game involving untangling planar graphs for fun and prizes. If you tend to get addicted to cute little math puzzles than gPlanarity is a doozy.
gPlanarity is a super-clone of the flash Planarity game written by John Tantalo. The original Planarity ran well in IE and Firefox on other platforms, but was slow and liked to lock up or abort under Linux browsers.
gPlanarity implements gameplay identical to the original Planarity but adds some UI and game extras around the basic game such as multiple board generation algorithms, puzzle boards, complete backing state, group select/drag and so on.
Main features:
- Expand/shrink
- Group select and drag
- Board reset
- Level selection
- Complete backing state
- Leave and come back to any number of boards at any time
- Multiple level generation algorithms
- Puzzles with differing win conditions
- Hide/show lines
- Intersection highlighting
- Undeniable big noodly crunch!

Teeny Weeny Microgame Engine project is a console/curses interface for playing near-arbitrary board games.
The Teeny Weeny Microgame Engine is a specification for the portable play of board- style games in a wide variety of computing environments. As proof-of-concept, teeny-cpp implements the Teeny LRFC (Lesser RFC) and many extended features with a shell-like console interface and a curses-based UI.
Despite their simple appearances, they are very extensible via C++ and basic game script code using the commands defined in the LRFC. It is intended for hard-core hobby board gamers or war gamers.
Main features:
- Acts as a reference implementation of and an experimentation ground for the Teeny LRFC.
- It has two major modes of operation: console mode (for the Power User) and curses mode (for a colorful UI).
- Internally controlled almost completely via the command language interface described in the Teeny LRFC. This allows us to extend the list of game options almost indefinately without having to change the internals of the framework. This also inherently allows us to operate the game environment via scripts containing lists of game commands.
- The scriptability means we can use arbitrary tools to generate game data. For example, creating games using bash scripts is often easier than hand-writing game scripts because we can take advantage of the advanced features of such a shell, like loops and conditionals (which are lacking in our code).
- The curses UI allows some keys to be programmed to arbitrary command strings. This makes doing common operations a snap. (i hope to improve this support to cover most keys.) For example, map a key to the command teeny-board rotate to quicky rotate your game board.
- For boardgame designers it offers a pretty simple interface for prototyping game designs.
- Generic plugins/DLL support means clients may plug in their own commands or even plug in their own plugin base types. As a demonstration, the source comes with EDeck, a plugin for handling abstract decks of cards (i.e., lists of shuffleable items from which we may pull items off the top). Of course... this plugin can be controlled via the command language interface, so its scriptable.
- The curses UI has support for manipulating all commonly-used curses text attributes, including colors, bold, blink, underline, etc., for the game board. Attributes are specified on a per-Avatar basis, and each set of attributes (colormap) may be named, loaded and saved at will. As usual, these are controlled via the command language, and are thus scriptable.
- Most parts of the interface support the use of $VARIABLES from the user. e.g., loading $TEENY_HOME/file.s11n will load the file ~/.teeny/foo.s11n. You may of course define and manipulate these variables as you wish.
- Startup of the app can be customized via a script. e.g., to load a game or macro keys, set up environment variables, etc.
- Powerful, flexible object serialization support, which means that we can add support for saving/loading near-arbitrary data with extremely little effort, without having to worry one iota about the underlying data formats, transport layers, and other bogusness. We can independently save and load almost all parts of the games state if we wish, as well. Shameless plug: http://s11n.net
- The source code is fairly hackable, if i may say so. Adding command handlers and DLLs is especially simple for even entry-level C++ coders. im always looking for ways to improve the code, so feel free to contribute :).

GtkAtlantic is a board game like Monopoly. GtkAtlantic is a network client that works with the monopd server.
Installation:
The simplest way to compile this package is:
1. `cd to the directory containing the packages source code and type `./configure to configure the package for your system. If youre using `csh on an old version of System V, you might need to type `sh ./configure instead to prevent `csh from trying to execute `configure itself.
Running `configure takes awhile. While running, it prints some messages telling which features it is checking for.
2. Type `make to compile the package.
3. Optionally, type `make check to run any self-tests that come with the package.
4. Type `make install to install the programs and any data files and documentation.
5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory by typing `make clean. To also remove the files that `configure created (so you can compile the package for a different kind of computer), type `make distclean. There is also a `make maintainer-clean target, but that is intended mainly for the packages developers. If you use it, you may have to get all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came with the distribution.
Enhancements:
- UTF-8 support was fixed.
