This is the 4th game I have written using TGB, and I feel I can mold the clay required to make a stable, clean, and sellable production. ..Wish me luck :-)

[update]
Most of the base code is done including the dynamic rules engine.
Here is an updated image of a 6x6 gameboard.

Looks good Rodney! Have you ever played "Chicken Foot" ? That's very fun domino game I cant remember the rules I will have to look it up. I must have been drunk the 1 and only time I played it.

Lol nope, i'll have to look that up, the way I'm building this with mods, I can drop in a new rules engine which basically switches the game play... Should be (ehem* easy) to mod in most dominoes 28 bones based rules.

*found a reference to Chicken Foot www.pagat.com/tile/wdom/chickenfoot.html, it uses a much larger domino base, but I'll look into it, cause it sounds fun as hell (*and a might bit more challenging) -Thanks Alex

I would totally be addicted to a bones game with online play. And I don't play casual games much!

Keep up the good work man, and make sure you talk to GG when it starts getting polished!
