Combgames-TikZ – TikZ boards for combinatorial games
This package draws combinatorial game boards using TikZ. It includes Domineering, Clobber, Amazons, Hackenbush, Hex, Toads and Frogs, Phutball and other games, with color variants and facilities for defining additional board tokens. It replaces the PostScript board drawings of combgames and adds further games. It requires and automatically loads the companion package combgames-symbols. The manual provides illustrated examples and token tables.
