Saturn’s Rings is soooo goooood imo

We should do one where we can switch the position of our pieces (maybe a new potion in spell chess)

Hmm, Explosive Magic seems fun.

Hmm, good question. Maybe he’s somewhere around here. . . hmm. . .

Platinum Variant (https://strawpoll.com/GPgVYX9JBna/results): Saturn's Rings by @asthebird

Congrats to the winners (and especially to @asthebird for the Platinum Variant win)!
Arenas will be scheduled in the coming week, so be on the lookout!
A few notices:
- The schedule will be pinned to the forums until the end of the year. Afterwards, a new 2025 page will be made and the 2024 schedule will be archived in the "Historical Threads" section of the club directory.
- All voting threads have been linked in the schedule for easier access if anybody wishes to review them again.
- Golden Variant WILL be resuming in 2025. Further details are to come.
- I will be publishing a feedback form sometime in the next few weeks so that community members can give their preferences on how things will run in 2025 especially early in the year. This year we started in late February due to the sporadic scheduling and the eventual cancellation of the Golden Variant arenas in previous years when we only generally scheduled them for variants lacking in popularity or new variants; thus, many choices and changes were made in between months meaning that it would be beneficial to figure out a concrete format or carve out some time for experiments (e.g., should we change the arena durations?).
- Happy holidays!

how
is
the
lake
good
saturn's rings for the win.
i agree but I don't agree with the satruns rings thing

Saturns rings might looks weird at first but then when you play it like ten times, you’ll find it really fun and interesting and will want to play more of this.

Hmm, Explosive Magic seems fun.
