Yeah, and maybe a slight description update, based on Korrun's findings.
2 more Lorax games out there:

I'd encourage others to try the game (whether joining above or starting a new game). It is a little learning curve to start, but Kjeld does have the description pretty well condensed into 1.5 pages, which is not too large and it is a fun map. Once you know the rules, it's just a matter of pulling the right levers on your 3 attacks and up to 3 fortifies per turn. Turns go quick and games go quick.
Also, newbies can win these games as evidenced by Korrun beating me in his first game (and I'm #1 ranked on the board with the most games played), albeit Korrun is an exceptionally bright player.
As bright as a doorknob.
I've updated the board based on some problems I noticed. Here's a new game:

Fixes (hopefully):
Mucho mucho better. Now the Once-Ler has a fighting chance for the long game and doesn’t have to go all Chop-o-matic and Axe from the get-go. ðŸ‘
Happy New Year's Day everybody!

Speaking of which, has anyone thought of bringing chess over here?

Way too difficult imo. Factories are powerful things, but not not cut out for anything near chess ..unless you have ideas!
Concur with M. The current mechanics wouldn’t support the variety of movement options. Knight’s Tour, for example, can work since all movement is the same.
Nice! I've started another.
The game engine would have to be expanded quite a bit. Maybe could be done with the ability to have borders change during a game. Even that could probably only do a chess like game.

Right, that makes sense. Too bad, It'd be so cool to have some chess games here
