Oski sheet for print – updated

There is simple PDF sheet for print: OskiSheet

Updated: new version of sheet.

OSKI Rules published

I love paper and pencil games. When I was child, we in family and in school often play Gomoku, Dots and Boxes, Go or Hex. I always want invent some good word game, playable as board game.

WYPS was initially developed as paper-and-pencil game too, but I was not satisfy with it and I change rules. Quentin is very simple and it is not board game - there is no board.

Finally there is OSKI. OSKI is very simple word game. Maybe simplest. I read about similar game played on orthogonal board several years ago. But I am not able to find any mention about this game now. I hope my rules are better.
