Connection Games

Variations on a Theme

About this book

A comprehensive study of the connection game genre, Connection Games provides a survey of known connection games while exploring common themes and strategies. This book aims to impose some structure on this increasingly large family of games, and to define exactly what constitutes a connection game. Key games are examined in detail and complete rules for over 200 connection games and variants are provided. A connection game is a board game in which players vie to develop or complete a specific type of connection with their pieces. This might involve forming a path between two or more goals, completing a closed loop, or gathering all pieces together into a single connected group.

Defining 
Connection
Connection 
games 
come 
in 
many 
different 
varieties, 
but 
all 
share 
a 
common 
theme: 
to 
develop 
or 
complete 
connections 
of 
some 
sort.
Part 
I 
looks 
at 
the 
history 
of 
connection 
games 
and 
introduces 
some 
concepts 
that 
help 
define 
exactly 
what 
constitutes 
a 
connec-
tion 
game. 
A 
basic 
graph 
analysis 
is 
introduced 
to 
help 
explain 
these 
games, 
and 
some 
common 
features, 
strategies, 
and 
tactics 
are 
discussed. 
Part 
I 
concludes 
by 
outlining 
a 
framework 
for 
classify-
ing 
connection 
games, 
allowing 
each 
game 
to 
be 
placed 
within 
the 
context 
of 
the 
overall 
connection 
family.
