LandSlide! Ready to go for thegamecrafter.com's contest for November.

I have placed an oldie but a goodie on TheGameCrafter.com.  This game was fleshed out back when I was in middle school.  Ben Johns and Dan Trombley, two friends of mine, beta tested this every morning with me from 5th grade on until we were driving cars and no longer needed stimulation for bus rides.

THe premise is to play all of your cards before everyone else.  The trick is that you can only play one card at a time lower than the card on the top of the pile, and if you play a card, it is not guaranteed that this card will stay there.  The next player may give those cards back to you, and then some.  If you are not careful, you might go from having just one card, to taking the whole pile.  It is a game of table talk, of trickery.  It's rules are simple, but from those rules, a complex and rich strategy experience emerges.  It is one of my favorites.  If you have anything to say about it, please send me an Email at RyanJRiojas@gmail.com
