SUPER LARIAT

by Mark Steere

Super Lariat is played on a hexagonally tessellated, three dimensional, closed surface. It's essentially an octohedron with cylinders branching out from three of the eight faces. The shape has a convex side and a concave side. A "lariat" here is a closed path surrounding a cylinder or any path that includes the center cell on the end of a cylinder. A filled board always produces exactly one winner. Super Lariat was designed by Mark Steere in October 2008.
