combgames-tikz

Version 1.0, 2026-10-28.

TikZ boards for combinatorial games, including Domineering, Clobber, Hackenbush, Hex, Amazons, Toads and Frogs, and Phutball. Load with \usepackage{combgames-tikz}.

Install combgames-symbols as well: this package loads it automatically. Other dependencies are iftex, expl3, xparse and PGF/TikZ. For a local installation or Overleaf project, copy combgames-tikz.sty and the runtime files listed in the combgames-symbols README.

See combgames-tikz-doc.pdf for commands, token tables and examples. Run pdfLaTeX on combgames-tikz-doc.tex until references stabilize (normally two or three runs) to rebuild it.

The development package was called cgt-board. Replace that name in usepackage with combgames-tikz. Board command names have not changed.

The manual's source-and-result format follows the combgames manual by Aaron N. Siegel and David Wolfe. The Christmas-fixture examples refer to Urban Larsson, Richard J. Nowakowski and Carlos P. Santos, "A complete solution for a nontrivial ruleset with entailing moves": https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.00588v1
