Nonpoint is an abstract strategy game for 2–3 players, with a solitaire variant. It is to be played with a 37-hex-hex board and a XATS set. Your score is the product of the numbers of your pieces in contiguous groups (as in OMEGA), minus the number of points (i.e. the tips) on your pieces you haven t played. Maximize your score! The solitaire rules are the same, except that all same-colored contiguous groups are factors in your score, and all colors' leftover points penalize you. On your turn, place one of your pieces on the board according to the following rules: Pieces are not allowed to point at their own color in an adjacent space! No two adjacent pieces are allowed to point at each other! You must place it in a space already pointed to by an adjacent piece belonging to an opponent. It is not allowed to point out of the edge of the board. If there is no valid play for you, you simply pass your turn. If all players pass consecutively, the game is over.
