Hey,
I think it would be nice if we have a official trailer for Pai Sho (Forum/Skud Website/ Discord). I could record things and edit a bit but I'm not that good
Tournament features are underway - soon, we will be able to have regular tournaments (with prizes!) at The Garden Gate. But tournament games will need to be more regulated or structured than the current games. So, how should they work?
Here are some ideas of how tournament games should work. Please let me know any ideas you have that either build on these or break them down
## Time Limits
Games should have time limits enforced to ensure that they finish in a timely manner. Standard tournaments will have timed games that encourage live play where players sit down at the same time and play together. (Correspondence-game tournaments could be an option in the future.)
We want to respect that players will be playing each other from across the world (which by the way is awesome!) so a number of pauses in gameplay should be allowed.
*Question*: How should pauses work? How would you expect it to work on the screen (something to click on to pause the game, other ideas)?
Time limits should be shown to players during the game. Players will have a certain amount of time per turn during normal play.
*Question*: What is the most appropriate time limit system that is both gracious and strict enough to help the game complete in a timely manner?
Let me know what you think. I'm looking forward to seeing tournaments happen regularly and seeing players at The Garden Gate get better and better at these games. Thanks!
Hi, I’m Spec and am a Pai Sho fanatic. I’m not the greatest player but I have a lot of fun. He/Him btw.
I am a fairly new member of the community and am on the discord (as a lurker lol). I like to try out new strategies and am still finding my play style, I’m also working on a game variant (like seemingly half of the discord) but I’ll share more once I’ve got a finished first draft of rules..
I think that’s it? Hit me up for a game anytime and if you wanna talk strategy your best bet is pm because I tend to be a slow typer.

I love all the Pai Sho variants we have but when I play a competitive game online I stress myself out a lot so I tend to enjoy single player games, but as of right now we only have Solitaire Pai Sho, so I wanted to make a variation of that by throwing in a gimmick that eventually led into it's own variation of a variation.
The idea is using the Lion Turtle/Avatar tile (that I designed myself so it's a bit of a self-insert, haha) as the first piece and center piece that all other tiles have to connect to in some way. In a way, you play as the Avatar trying to bring balance to the four nations.
Click here for the rules since I have trouble trying to summarize them.
The lore behind the idea is that some long forgotten Avatar was trying to explain his role to someone, maybe a child, but this someone didn't quite understand, so they used a Pai Sho board and some pieces to explain how and why bringing balance to the world is so difficult.
If anyone wants I'll use my board to play a game and take pictures of/record the session to put up as an example. Feel free to try it out, too, it can be kinda tricky!
It seems like the Host has and advantage by needing to form Harmonies.
Here are some examples, please correct me if I made a logical fallacy
Situation for the Host:
1 Disharmony
13 Disharmony points
2 Harmonies
14 Harmony points
Situation for the Guest:
1 Hisharmony
13 Harmony points
1 Harmony
7 Harmony points
1 Disharmony
7 Disharmony points
1 Disharmony
7 Disharmony points
Which also can lead to this again:
2 Harmonies
8 Harmony points
1 Disharmony
7 Disharmony points
Overall, it seems way riskier for the Guest to form long Disharmonies than for the Host to form long Harmonies.
Hey! I'm Nahtanojrepus (alternatively Nah, Nahta, Nahtan, Nahtano, Nahtanoj, Tano, Repus or Na<keyboard spam>, but I prefer to go by Naht). I'm a pretty active member of the discord and play reasonably often on the site. I actively play skud and vagabond, with a particular liking for double vagabond, but I'd say I'm most well known for my efforts in solving solitaire, maximising simple score for several variants (something which I intend to post about down the line). I also had a part in the creation of overgrowth and cooperative solitaire, as well as an (as yet) unexplored concept for a new tile for vagabond, the koi fish which vescucci, resident actual wizard, designed.
All in all, I have an interest in essentially every variant of pai sho (except capture it can go in the trash) and am willing to theorycraft as much as I am to play.
For a long while now I've struggled to figure out what kind of career I'd like to pursue, and that's really affected my school decisions. My parents essentially force me to go to school and I have to pay for it so for the past three years I've basically been wasting a ton of money because I've been doing poorly or I change majors. I originally went for game design but that seemed to specific, not enough opportunity, so I'm going for general design, but lately that's also been scaring me because I just want a future that's a bit more secure than jumping from place to place designing whatever they need.
So my question is, if you're in a stable work environment or went through your schooling or whatever, how did you come to where you are now?
I know this is kinda weirdly personal for an Avatar fan board game forum but I know a lot of you know so I figured I could get some advice haha.
This is my Pai Sho board :
If you're interested how I made it, here is the full album: https://imgur.com/gallery/qIlKF
Hey!
I'm Spinx and I'm from Germany (Bavaria to be exact ).
About 2 years ago, I decided to rewatch my favourite childhood series again. Afterwards, I went to the subreddit of the series, and searched for real Pai Sho boards, and that's where I found Skud, who seemed to advertise his online Pai Sho website under every single post.^^
I thought to myself: "Might as well give this thing a try", and after a lot of games against him, many rule changes and roughly a year long break I'm back
There are many new rulesets now, but I still like regular Skud Pai Sho the most. If you ever need some advice, I'm happy to help you. Also, feel free to invite me to a game, I'll gladly accept.
