Nick invents games, mostly board games, but usually forgets to tell companies about them. Many of them are educational - mainly for maths and for his tutoring; but he does come up with non-educational, just-for-the-hell-of-it games. College Games published The Eton Game to a great deal of press in September 2004. If you would like a game to be designed especially for your organisation then please contact College Games, or contact me directly.

The Eton Game

Angus and Nick (the co-inventors) have designed a game for the U.S. which develops the ideas from the original Eton Game, and in the process tweaked some of the rules, which we think improves the gameplay. If you have one of the original Eton Games then you may wish to try the following alternative rules:

1. When your boy lands on Chapel, do not move your token onto the Chapel Square. Instead leave your token where it is. Since you have gone to Chapel, your sins are forgiven and all your bad deeds are forgotten, so hand in all your Faux Pas and Tardy Book cards. The slate has been wiped clean.
2. Whenever you are "In the Bill" (punished by the Headmaster) do not move your token to the Headmaster's square; simply receive your punishment from wherever you are and then resume playing the game.
3. When you land on a Challenge square, don't restrict yourself to cards of the same colour as the Challenge square itself. Instead you can challenge using any Colour cards at all. Thus, if you win the challenge, you offload the appropriate number of cards off onto your opponent, but those cards can be any colour at all. You will find that this helps bring a result to the game much more quickly.
4. If I remember the other ones then I will post them here...
