Talk:Ataxx

Untitled
The Ataxx article is a bit...bad. I really enjoy the game...doesn't anyone know anything else about it? Nominaladversary 01:04, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Im gonna fix this up a bit.

Boogers merger
The Boogers article says merging the two has been suggested. Where is the suggestion? Boogers was interesting because it could be played with three or four players and chatting both openly and privately was integrated into the game. This promoted shady non-aggression pacts, ganging up, and stabbing your friends in the back. The three player variant was unique because the player in the middle arguably started at a disadvantage. To my knowledge no existing version of Ataxx attempts to incorporate any of these elements. If you want that dynamic, you're pretty much stuck with StarCraft. --einexile 16:13, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

For the strategy section, does anyone know how the best humans fare against computers? Turgonml 14:32, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Ataxx Complexity
"This article or section may contain original research or unverified claims." It was original research, sorry i should have added that myself. I did the research for an undergrad thesis. Anyone know if its accurate? Turgonml 11:59, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Just publish it somewhere on the internet, and cite it here. Then there can be discussion about accuracy and how good a citation this is. (good, if it's a universities site) --80.136.105.200 16:42, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

"Other Versions" vs. "Attaxx Clones"
I don't see the difference. Why not merge these sections? Hexxagon, for example, is cited as "Attaxx clone" on, while it's called an "other version" here. As it's been shareware for a long time, and I'm searching for more info for the article List of liberated software, I'd like to know which definitely was first, and how they relate to each other. --80.136.105.200 16:46, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Strategy
I noticed the strategy section was removed some time ago. I thought it was sort of useful. Anyone mind if I put it back?. Turgonml 01:07, 12 October 2007 (UTC)


 * It was removed for two reasons: It was original research and Wikipedia is not a gaming guide. Sorry, I'd like this type of information too.  &mdash; Val42 22:05, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

True but strategy is not the same as a gaming guide. Check out the Chess_strategy page. It's not referenced either. Turgonml 02:35, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Object of the game
"The object of the game is for the player to make pieces constitute a majority of the pieces on the board at the end of the game". This make no sense to me. Maproom (talk) 15:56, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
