Spruit
DescriptionSpruit is a solitaire game designed for play with a Shibumi set. It uses a 4×4-holed board, and balls in three colors (white, black, and red). Aim: Score the most points you can, without losing the game by disconnecting a white or a black the others of its kind. Setup: The 4×4 board starts with the 16 base holes filled as shown to the right. Rules: Draw a ball from the bag, and add it to the pyramid according to these rules: When there are no free spaces on a level, you may place the ball on any edge point of the new level; otherwise, you must push a ball from the side with a new ball. White and black balls must end up touching others of their kind; red needn’t do this. If a white or black becomes stranded, you lose. You may not push balls off the pyramid. Once the last ball is on the pyramid, you score according to the following:7 points for a visibly connected path of red from corner to corner; otherwise, red is worthless. A color (black or white) that is split into separate visible groups is worth the product of the number of balls in each visible group of that color. A color (black or white) that is in one contiguous visible group is worth negative the number of balls in that visible group. Random Setup: Start with the two red balls in the corner, then put 11 white and 11 black in the bag. Spiral clockwise inward from one of the reds, drawing a ball from the bag and adding it to the board. Now spiral clockwise inward again from the same red, and each time you reach a white or black that is not touching any others of its kind, replace it with the other kind from the bag. (Apologies for the difficulty in replacing the center four!) Note: The base may thus contain more groups than just one white and one black. Multi-player Solitaire: Any number of people can compete, as long as each person has a Shibumi set. If you do a random setup, everyone should copy one random setup, so everyone starts with the same base. If players can see each others’ pyramids, each player should draw randomly from her own bag during the game; if players cannot see each others’ pyramids, you can have one person draw from her bag the whole game, announcing the color drawn, and the other players simply pull out that color and place it. The latter allows for more pure competition, but the former is often more practical. Game DiscussionsAdd CommentYou need to be logged in to comment. Insert Bullet List Please enter at least one item.
