Is there any kind of deadline for this stuff?
I should mention that I didn't mean to "reserve" anything I stated in my last post. Just to be on the safe side. I'd like to participate but I've been busy with other stuff.

Deadline is open-ended. It's probably done by mid-to-late January, but we can keep adding after that if we want to, or build another planet?

Also, I mentioned currency in my story "The Last Cucumber", so it is now canon that currency in the under water regions are beads, an the common way of transporting them is on necklaces.

@GRS: Welcome aboard!

The plainsfolk have many tribes and factions, however there are some No Man's Land cities, for trading and peaceful rest during travel. To the south of Rul, the eastern continent, lies a sprawling marsh city T'flin.
The average archestructure in T'flin is round or a series of connected roundo walls. They're made of tough, raw rock that was chiseled into a home. Most houses have no roofs and rainy days are when the Atargatians shower.
T'flin is circular itself. The various homes form small circles, surrounded by other house clusters, forming rings around the central structure that is a giant hollowed crystal. The Great Red Spirit hall of worship.
Along the coast, crude docks are crowded with Ageirtia and other vessels.

I haven't had time to playtest this yet, but this is the beta version / rules of the Ancient Atargatian board game Rong-Tong.
11 x 11 squares board.
Each side gets 20 Rongs and 1 Tong.
The Rongs are rings painted black on one side and red on the other. Or blue and white for the other team.
The central lane must start clear, as the Tong is placed in the back row, middle slot.
The Rongs start in two ranks on the back-most wall (leaving the central row clear for the Tong).

Players get two moves per turn.
Rongs can move horizontal in any direction, one square at a time.
Tongs can move in any one direction up to three squares at a time. You can only use a Tong once during your player phase.

Rongs can be jumped by enemy Rongs, causing the attacked Rong to flip over to the black/white side. Once flipped, the Rong is inactive and stays in that place. However, players can jump their own Rongs to make them active again. (players can only jump their own inactive Rongs and may not jump active Rongs.)

The Tongs can scoop up any inactive Rongs that are in its path. Once ten Rongs are placed on the Tong, the player removes all Rongs off the Tong, and discard them from the board. The player also gets another Tong that starts in the initial Tong position. If this position is filled, it may start in any other available starting position.
Alternatively, if the player has had ten of his/her own Rongs removed from the board already, he/she may trade the Rongs for the lost Rongs instead of a Tong. (These pieces are placed anywhere in the players half of the board.)

Play until one player has no more Rongs.

Rong-a-tong-tong. I wanna play! Do any of the creations on this page come into play?

Nah, while it may become a stand alone game, it also is just another creation FOR Atargatis. The boardgame is still in beta form, so I'll keep this updated.

Caminator18 and I have been playing Rong-Tongs for real. We tried default rules and the game got a little long. We're going to try a modified movement rule later.
