Hi, all; I'm just posting to announce a new game I've designed, inspired by billiards and marbles but with a scientific theme. Atom Smasher: http://icehousegames.org/wiki/index.php?title=Atom_Smasher Feedback is encouraged on the game's Talk page. In particular, I would like to make sure that the rules diction is clear enough without needing a picture or diagrams... or feedback that such diagrams are critical to comprehension. Also, I am wondering if there should be a lesser penalty than the one for a "meltdown", if a player flicks the "smasher" off of the playing surface (lose just current turn, maybe?). Thanks for your help--have fun with it! David
