So... what is Marooned (or Whatever) where did it spring from? Well, when I was a Drama Student in That-There-London I got into playing board and card games quite heavily. Many hours were spent playing things like Magic the Gathering, Talisman and Illuminati the CCG. I was also quite into Logic Puzzles and in one book there was a puzzle/game which involved a dice on a chessboard type affair.
Marooned grew from thinking about this puzzle and various other things (more of this later) this is just a first post.
The basics of Marooned (or Something) is to get your little men from one side of the board to the other using the blocks to form a path whilst trying to stop the other players from doing so.
You can have 2-4 players but I think that the demo version I'm going to produce will just be the 2 player game... here have some pictures of the very demo set with the crayon drawn board we used this weekend.

So there you are.. some pretty pictures and a bit of a rambling text.. that should do you to start off with!
