Well our first e-game was going to be a challenge of the two Dave’s IT capability!

As a result I wanted a very simple quick game so that we could concentrate on getting the techno stuff right (where’s Blake when you need him!!!). anyway I came up with this as a game:

The  Sumo rules and cards are attached here Sumo rules and cards

The game is simply get the other one out of the ring (Dohyo). Dave had the black “Rikishi” and I the white one. The likeness was scary!!

Let the bout begin.

Both Rikishi charge towards each other.

The black Rikishi pushes the white one against the edge of the circle but my hero swings him around placing him in danger of being quickly eliminated.

The black Rikishi dishonourably  avoids combat and runs away to the centre of the Dohyo.

My hero pushes the dishonourable one back diagonally.

Not learning from his previous mistake my hero was trapped on the edge of the Dohyo but quickly swung around ready to deliver the final ignominy of defeat.

The spoils of victory.

The game took about as long as it has taken for you to read it but despite the games simplicity it does have some complex tactics, however as I started the blog saying the object of the night was to talk “ship” and get used to the technology. Both of which we achieved. The only downside was my old laptop which has a very low resolution camera that would be unsuitable for a standard figure game.

I will try and get a better web camera over the next few days but I hear they are harder to get than a roll of toilet paper in Parliament House.

Hopefully we might be able to play something more serious and realistic next week like the zombie tile game!!!

CU soon.
