ABSTRACT

Domineering is a game considered by Göran Andersson and has also been called Crosscram and Dominoes. Left and Right take turns in placing dominoes on a checker-board. Left orients his dominoes North-South and Right East-West. Each domino must exactly cover two squares of the board and no two dominoes may overlap. A player who can find no room for one of his dominoes loses the game. In the game of Cashing Cheques, each player starts with a sum of money, and there are a number of cheques (or coins) on the table, already made out for various amounts. The players alternately appropriate these cheques, and at the end of the game the winner is whoever has the larger amount of money in all, except that if both have exactly the same amount, the last to cash a cheque is the winner.
