Epsilon Eridani, a game played on a 44 squares board that I sent a few days
ago, is  a NON-competing entry to the Contest. The main reason is because
I have Hexetera competing and Antoine and me are the authors of 
Symmetron!44. Epsilon Eridani is based basically on Achernar, with some
differences (Achernar is the name of the blue star Alpha of Eridani,
Epsilon Eridani is a yellow star in the same constellation. Epsilon
Eridani is an interesting star, it is almost sure that at least one planet
orbits the star), although the game play is very different. The board size
adds clarity to the game, so calculations are easy, this is not the case
in Achernar. Nevertheless, the E.E. game play is nice and very
interesting, at least I think so, and I hope that the community can enjoy
this out-of-competence game.
