That was the idea--a standard card deck of encoded objects (eg, 2x8 blocks with
various coloured pips). Janey suggested they be tacked to the walls of the
playfield, others suggested on the ground, randomly, another idea was to put
them in a joint common airspace (eg, like C4)

Wow, like watching paint dry. Or TCP stacks synack. Grass grow.

Hrm...(stares a cad plotter)....yes...

All rope. Would that be too hard?

You'd be surprised. Mario had it running for C4 for us.

We were trying to figure out what to fire and how. One of the ideas was a TO
like target with a 2x2 block as the "arrow".

Right. And who wants to be stuck with Chris on your team (I figure since he's
working hard these days I can take potshots at him while he's not on his PC)
:)
Some others:
Jenga
-shared airspace
-encoded wooden blocks
-have to read rules (apparently Sacha has!)
Hockey
-IR versus visible light puck?
-How to designate tracks/goals/starting positions
