I have several at home, why do you ask?
For real now: There are no draws since a rulechange. I don´t know when it was, though

What tie are you referring to? I don't see one in your current postals or in your game history.

Okay, a "draw".

The rules have changed since then - now if both players lose all their rabbits, the player who moved last wins.

Draws are no longer a part of the game. In the current version of Arimaa, a player loses when his or her last rabbit is captured, whereas at the time that game was played (and for another three and a half months), elimination was not a victory condition and was a draw condition if all of the rabbits on the board for both sides were captured.

(But even at that time, draws were extremely rare and basically unheard-of between strong players.)

I am aware of that.
I just asked a simple question.
I thought it odd that I had a draw in my first game ever, and wondered if anyone else had ever had a draw.

I am sure that Omar could answer your question.

A quick look at the game records shows arimaa_master has 2, blue22 has 2, and 99of9 has 1. Note there may be more, I just stopped looking after I got three people.

I have previously found all draws ever played. :)

:P

The real reason I'm replying is because your link does not work.
