Talking about old and older obscure abstract games
Orion is a 1971 uncredited game published by General Mills and Parker Brothers.
The game comes with 20 pieces per each one of the four colors.
In fact, Orion is not a single game, but a game system. The rule book includes fifteen games and seven puzzles.
At BGG there's a wiki with more games developed by the community.

Most of the early posts about new games came from playtesting and discussions between João Pedro Neto and Bill Taylor. But even before Bill's passing on July 2021, the blog had gradually shifted its focus toward old and obscure two-player abstract board games. The blog will tend to avoid Chess variants, Mancala games, and Go Variants, as dedicated sites for those already exist.
Regarding the chronological tags: older games means 1800s-1940s (pre-WW2),
old games means 1950-1989 (pre-video games),
new games means 1990-2005 (at least for now).
