Title: Hey All
Post by Krossfire on Jan 1^st, 2012, 8:37pm

Hi everyone!

I'm a new player to this game, and so far, I'm really enjoying it! I'm a junior in high school, and I think a lot of my friends will enjoy it as well. When I have some free time, I am hoping to be able to set up an arimaa club at my school.

I found the game while perusing Wikipedia, looking for chess strategies. I have been playing chess for a while, but arimaa is a lot more fun. I enjoy all of the options you have each turn, I find it much more interesting than chess, where each move and counter move can be mostly predicted.

I still don't have an intuitive sense of movement rules, but I plan to stick around and play a lot of games. Me and one of my friends have had a game going almost constantly since I introduced him to it.

I hope I can be a part of this community,
Krossfire

A high school Arimaa club would be awesome! I've introduced Arimaa to the chess club at my university. People were receptive, but I haven't quite hooked anybody yet...

yep, thats how i found arimaa, i was trying to find another board game like chess that wasn't already completely explored, all that memorisation of openings was very tedious

been playing arimaa instead ever since ;)
