 Diatoms was created for the "Under the Sea" map making competition.  Diatoms are simple algae.  I choose them for this theme mainly because they often have very regular shapes, and I thought I could use them to make an interesting geometric tiling board.  But as I read more about them, I thought they were pretty interesting in their own right. Diatoms was created for the "Under the Sea" map making competition.  Diatoms are simple algae.  I choose them for this theme mainly because they often have very regular shapes, and I thought I could use them to make an interesting geometric tiling board.  But as I read more about them, I thought they were pretty interesting in their own right.

 +To win - eliminate all your opponents, or get the required number of territories.  Number of territories required, depends on scenario, and matches the scenario name.  (e.g. scenario '50' only needs 50 territories to win, etc.)

 +===== Cards =====
 +Start with a wild card - hold up to six.  If you hang on to your wild card, you'll always be able to turn in twice with six cards.

-blah blah.. wiki lost my text...  factories abandon bonuses.  Iwo Jima... Diatoms...  Trivial Pursuit.+I've often had difficulty making boards with abandon that I was happy with.  It usually seemed to encourage very aggressive behavior, and lots of empty territories.  I've recently used a new (for me) paradigm of having bonuses for (almost) every territory on the board on 3 maps: Iwo Jima, Diatoms, Trivial Pursuit.  And I've been happy with the result.  This setup creates a conflict between wanting to group your units for offense/defense and wanting to spread out your units to get bonuses.
