[pbmserv] New variant: Druid's Y



Hi,

A new Druid variant called Druid's Y has been added to the server. Please challenge me to a game or two:

  druid challenge yourname camb -y -size=10
  druid challenge camb yourname -y -size=10

Thanks,
Cameron

Druid's Y

Druid's Y is played on a triangular Y board using the standard Druid rules and pieces. As in Y, a player wins by connecting all three sides of the board with a path of their stones.

The Druid rules can be found here: http://www.gamerz.net/pbmserv/druid.html

The following example shows a game won by X:
