How to play Linos, by James Ernest
James Ernest of Crab Fragment Labs explains the rules to Linos, "the Game of Twelve Stones."
Linos is meant to be an ancient lost game from a fantasy universe, using just twelve pieces and a 6-sided die. The game is still in playtest at Crab Fragment Labs, so these are not necessarily the final rules, but they are close.
The goal is to score the most points by playing connected pieces of opposite colors. Pieces are stacked on a platform, or "basket," of 3 x 4 squares. Playing higher in the stack can be worth more points, as can "royal" moves, which are allowed only when there are no other options.
