Abande is an original abstract game of connected pieces. Place or move pieces and stacks to generate the highest score you can whilst always keeping the board connected. Both the orthogonal and hexagonal versions have been implemented.

bigby 2 A very fun, tricky game with just enough pieces to make the end game very interesting. As the board fills, pieces you thought were safe sometimes become liabilities.

CDRodeffer 1 Really smart abstract stacking game with connectivity and territorial elements.
Cerulean 1 A standout among stacking games that passes the "Let's play again" test.

Lexicon 1
mathochist 1
molnar 1 This has got some layers to it.
ostadar 1 Ordo is a good game based on a very good idea.
Besides, the 'Ordo movement' and the long diagonals provide pretty moments during the game.
IMMO, the only weakness is, perhaps, that it's very dangerous to launch the first attack, and this may lead to a conservative play.
