Ah yeah, sorry about not replying to the second question. So, the game ends when the person whose turn it is can't make a move in that turn. It doesn't end in the previous turn yet.

Hi dnobi! Thanks for the comment. Huh, I never considered that drawing subsequent lines in the same direction could lead to a stale-mate. Can you try out a few matches with the rule "You can't draw lines in successive turns in the same direction, unless having no other option"? And see how it plays, maybe this rule will make it better? Let me know :)

Otherwise, sure, you can use the diagrams.

thanks!! :)

31a is about when/where to turn. Do you see a difference in turning between 31a and 28-30?

Thank you woofmao! Glad to hear you enjoyed it :)

Hey HouseRule, thank you :) I hope you'll find the expansions satisfying as well - I myself don't play AIB without them

Hey! We already talked on Discord and sorted this out right? :)

Great, thanks for the feedback!

Great, thanks for the feedback! 👍👍

This is heartwarming to read, thank you so much :)

Thank you very very much, Pidj :>

I love the system, so I plan to return to it in some form in the future, however, I need to find a way to streamline the rules. But yeah, I really like how the puzzles feel to solve, so I want to return. Can't say when and how.

this is very cool!

A very nice trilogy!

If you’re talking about physical book, there shouldn’t be any problems - you can order to Brazil here: https://letibus.bigcartel.com/product/lok

Good point, I completely agree!

Thank you, SunnyPie :)

Thank you for the kind words! Well, it helped me a lot to playtest LOK with various people, seeing where they struggle and streamlining those bits. In terms of the puzzle design, it's always the case of being as basic as possible in presentation of a new element and then making it more challenging with other puzzles, where the new element is already known. So yeah, there can never be enough of simplicity and accessibility - you can always ramp up the difficulty with later challenges.

Thanks, fizzd, very kind of you!

Thank you for the kind words!

Thank you! :)

24 is valid. You probably misinterpreted a rule, I suggest you look in the "Rules" section to confirm

Thank you, Beth, have fun with the puzzles :)

Thank you very much! :)

As far as I know - and as far as I discussed your question with a friend who is an expert on these puzzle sets - there aren't many paper-and-pen games around where figuring out the rules is a puzzle itself. I'm aware only of The Witless by TheGreatEscaper ( https://puzzling.stackexchange.com/questions/47870/witless-a-puzzling-journey ) and FMTC by Jack Lance ( https://jacoblance.wordpress.com/2020/05/16/logic-puzzles/ ). There are of course a lot more instructionless puzzles in the video-game format (The Witness, Understand, Taiji ...). I'd love to see more such paper games, so let me know if you find anything else :)

You're probably talking about the pages being 4, then 7, then 4, then 7? This is because the page in between them (5, 6) is burned and first you see what's behind 5 (which is 7) and then what is behind 6 (which is 4). The PDF is best read by having odd pages on the right and even pages on the left.

Great game! :)

You're absolutely too kind :) Thank you!

:)

Why can't I leave the barn aaargh they trapped me

Hey David, Yes, you will get the Second Edition copies :) Thanks for the order!

Aw yissss 8)

Thank you very much, appreciated :)

Hi, Competor, this is great! Thank you for playing LOK and for translating it (and also for the kind words). I'm interested in making a Japanese edition PDF with your translation - if you agree, please contact me at blazgracar@gmail.com - there are some details I need to sort out beforehand.

Looking forward to the Let's Play videos, even though I won't understand them :D

Thanks again, I think it's fantastic that you took your time to translate it! Best, Blaž

Thank you, I really appreciate your kind words :)

Glad to hear this! :) Thanks. Yeah, the response overwhelmed me a bit, I truly didn't expect to sell out, at least not so quickly... I will have another print run ready sometime in August - I hope there will still be some people interested in it when I'll have it!

Very nice of you, phunknsoul, thanks! I really need to get back to Lineon and finish it, I feel like I learned some stuff while making LOK that would benefit it :)

:>

I got the email, all good! :) Thanks!

This is so cool, CryptRat! :) I'm really surprised by the work you've put in! Please, send me the final scans so I can have them for my archive (blazgracar@gmail.com) - I might even use your translations for a French edition in the future, if you'll be up for it. I hope your friends and family will enjoy it :) Thanks!
