"Fencing" in John Brunner's "The Shockwave Rider"

[Lennart Hukriede]

In his book "The Shockwave Rider" John Brunner describes a board game
called fencing. It sounds interesting (sorry not to present the rules,
but they are two pages and I don't have a scanner; besides, it is
copyrighted by Brunner and I don't know if that would be "fair use"),
but a bit tedious to play on a board or on paper. However, it seems
ideal for playing it on two computer screens. Has anybody implemented
a system for playing it or made any experiences with playing it?
Please reply by mail (I don't read these groups regularly). If there
is interest, I will summarize. If you followup, you may want to edit the
"Newsgroups:" line.

There was a computer implementation for DOS that can be found. I am thinking about implementing the game for 2 players on the same screen in Python 3

Hi Anton,

Replying 28 years too late but a friend and I have implemented the game on Android. You can download it from the Play store here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gibconsulting.fencing.free&hl=en-GB

It is a remarkably playable game and great credit should be given to John Brunner for coming up with such a great game which is just mentioned in passing in the book.
