Talking about old and older obscure abstract games
Maneuver is a 1978 uncredited game, published at Mattel.
This is an unification game, where the player's stones must be all in lines of three or more friendly stones. It has a random setup, but the game is still combinatorial.
These are the rules:
The game was reviewed in GAMES #10:
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).
