Anirac

 

Anirac is a board game for two players.  You'll need a reversi set to play.

Players are trying to build a chain of pieces of their color connecting opposite sides of the board.  Black is working to connect the top and bottom of the board, while white hopes to connect the left and right sides.

Each turn, a player can place one of their pieces on the board or flip two adjacent pieces as long as one is black and one is white.  For example, a player could flip A and B in the top diagram to begin forming a path made of white pieces:

⬤	◯
	⬤	A
◯	B

⬤	◯
	◯	A
⬤	B

The first player to build a continuous path of pieces connecting their edges of the board wins.  Pieces can connect diagonally.

Note:  sometimes I get stuck when coming up with names for board games.  Anirac is Carina spelled backwards.

Prime Rummy

Prime Rummy is a game for two to four players. The object of the game is to create sets of cards whose total values equal prime numbers.

You will need a French-suited deck with no jokers. For a two-player game, the dealer gives each player ten cards. Each player receives seven cards if three or four are playing. After dealing the hands, the dealer places the remainder of the deck face down in the center of the table and turns over the top card to start the discard pile.  

Play follows the general rules of straight gin rummy.  At the beginning of each turn, a player can draw from the deck or take the exposed card at the top of the discard pile.  Players end their turns by discarding a card. 

Players are trying to create hands in which the sums of values of the red and black cards are prime numbers.  The color totals are counted separately.  Aces are worth one, and face cards are worth zero. 

For example, player has these cards in their hand:

♢A, ♤4, ♡9, ♢8, ♡Q, ♢4, ♧K, ♡10, ♡3, ♤J

Grouping them by color, the player has 

♢A, ♡9, ♢8, ♡Q, ♢4, ♡10, ♡3 for a red total of 35.

and

♤4, ♧K, ♤J for a black total of 4.

When a player has prime numbers in their hand, they can go out by discarding a card and revealing their hand.

A player who only has cards of one color in their hand can go out if the value is prime.
