Hello to the List,

searching for Zagami information on the web, I found this Zagami Game that you can 
play on a standard chessboard. The story is comic : 

"In 1962, on a quiet October afternoon in the middle of an African cornfield, a 
40-pound meteorite tumbled to the earth and planted itself in a two-foot hole in the 
ground. It landed ten feet away from a farmer, who was busy scaring crows away from 
his corn and so was not on the lookout for falling meteorites. The papers reported 
that the pressure wave from the impact knocked him flat on his back.

What the papers failed to report was that, immediately after the impact, a tiny 
Martian lifeform hopped off the smoldering rock and made its way, quietly, toward the 
dazed farmer. The changes that overtook him during the following weeks and months were 
slow and subtle to the eye. It was a long while before he, or anyone else, understood 
what he'd become. 

Zagami is a game of Martian microbial life for four players; it requires a standard 
chessboard and an Icehouse set. Each player controls a single-colored colony of 
microbes, which moves and expands across the small meteorite in search of food. 
Multicolored stacks begin to form - microbes eating microbes eating microbes. As the 
game progresses, each colony evolves "enzymes" which allow it to metabolize other 
microbes into energy to be used for growing, sporing, attacking, and escaping. Only 
one colony will survive the long journey from Mars to Earth. Will it be yours?"
