Smess. Produced and sold in the early 70's by Parker Brothers. Arrows on squares determine direction pieces can move. (7x8, Cells: 56) (Recognized!)[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Because the Ivorytower pieces looked a little small on the board, I reduced the size of the board from 83x83 squares to 73x73 squares. The original board had 83x73 squares to give it a more square shape with a 7x8 layout, but the 73 pixel width works better for the Ivorytower pieces, because they can now fully cover up the oval on some spaces that names the piece starting from that position. I also tried 60x60 spaces, as that is the size used in Storm the Ivory Tower, but the Blue Brain was covering up too much of the forward arrow on its space. So I reverted to 73x73.

While the Ivorytower pieces do look better, they are still rough around the edges. and I think they would look better as SVG pieces.
