Game Tables

[Etherdrifter]

So, waiting for your bars to fill or crop to harvest. Not much to do really. Most of us go afk or pull up another game.

Something that might make waiting more fun is the addition of game boards/tables.

Each table has a simple interface for the game itself, a scoreboard with player names and 3 buttons (stop playing, request draw (or restart if no-one else is using it), switch sides (for people with a piece colour preference)).

Players can also propose matches using the board (causing the players to sit and the board to be displayed in the middle of them till one of them leaves). This lacks the scoreboard, player names and draw buttons.

Boards can be used as inspirationals, again I leave those numbers to the devs.

So, without further ado here are the game boards (each requiring different skills to make!)

9 mens morris - Already makable, to invite a player right click the board on them as one would use an item.
Checkers - 4 granite, 4 flint, 4 wood boards (requires quarrying, carpentry)
Gomoku (5 in a row) - 6 seashells, 6 snails, 4 wood boards (requires whittling, snail hunting)
Chess - 4 glass, 4 metal bars, 4 wood boards (requires logic, blacksmithing, carpentry)
Blackgammon - 2 last bone, 4 boards, 4 granite, 4 stone (requires turkey farming, carpentry)
Nim - 16 flint (requires quarrying)

Other games could be added of course. Graphics reflect materials used is also a possibility.

To make a game table requires 6 nails, 10 boards and takes up 1 "tile". The skill required is carpentry. A board is placed on a table by right clicking the board on the table. Once placed the board is removed by ctrl+clicking the table (or some other convenient mech).

That's about all I've got really.
