On the felicities of graph-based game-board design – seven
[ by Charles Cameron — the series continues from six ]

What a pleasure to discover Matt Damon does graph theory in his spare time!
— or that the female face. similarly, is viewed by some as the basis for graphical analysis:

The GMT game, Tigers in the Mist, uses a point to point movement system. It’s a Battle of the Bulge and the reason for the unique movement system is that the lowlands and woods were considered impassible, leaving only road movement. Movement is junction to junction, which could be an intersection or a town.
Good game too.
