This is a bundle of pen-and-paper games based on the (somewhat well-known) Game of Sim.
The first page explains how that game works, which is a great introduction to these types of games and usually adored by young Apprentices. It’s a two-player game where, every turn, you simply draw a line between two points (that don’t have a line yet). The first one who is forced to create a triangle this way loses.
Then, however, we take that idea in interesting directions by applying it to other basic shapes. And, when needed, by twisting the rules to challenge the players even more.
These games are simple. Most of them just have you draw a single line from point A to point B on your turn, until some condition is met. But with every attempt, you discover a better first move, a deeper strategy, a new way to look at the shape and its connections.
