Paper Soccer

I am always on the lookout for new paper-and-pencil games because they are by nature junkly - you can play them virtually for free, and the rules are usually informal and open for change. Recently, I discovered Paper Soccer, as described in the always more amazing Wikipedia is played as follows:

"The game starts on an empty field of 8x10 boxes with goals of two boxes wide as shown in the picture. In the beginning, a virtual ball is placed in the center of the field, on the crossing of the paper lines. Players move the ball in turns and aim to place it in the opponents goal.

"In one turn, the ball may be moved into one of the eight paper line crossings around it (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) and a segment from the original position to the new one is drawn to mark the move. The ball may not move neither on the game field border nor on the segments marking the past moves but it bounces from them, i.e. a player who moves the ball into a position where there is already an end of a segment or a game field border he or she gets another turn.

"The first player to place the ball in the opponents goal wins the game. The game may also end when a player does not have a valid move (he or she loses automatically)."

In fact, should you so desire, you can play it right now, on-line, via Kurnik, a free, and most visit-worthy site that hosts a small plethora (I counted 30) of similarly on-line, multiplayer games.
