         "slyde": "In Slyde, the goal is to form the largest orthogonal group of your colour. Pieces can be fixed or mobile. The game starts in a checkerboard position and all pieces start mobile. On your turn, you may swap a mobile piece with an adjacent mobile piece of your opponent, and your piece becomes fixed. The game ends when one player runs out of moves. If the board is in a mirror-symmetric position after the first turn, you may change the state of a piece instead of performing the standard swap.",

         "shapechess": "Shape Chess, 形棋 (shape - board game), was designed c.2010 by 日出 (Richu) from Guangzhou, China. The game has evolved into its current form through years of refinement within the Chinese game design community (quoted from Kanare_Abstract). This is not a Chess-like game, but one that uses a very original concept by making players build reflectional symmetric shapes. This implementation includes several board sizes, and also different winning scores, for players who prefer shorter or longer matches.",
         "sentinel": "Vigil Games are a class of strategy games in which players must maintain an uninterrupted line of sight between their pieces and a designated reference point or region of the board. The first vigil game on record is 1892's Kastellet.\n\nSentinel is a vigil game where players always need to have at least one line-of-sight to the board's center. Sentinel is the second abstract game of this genre (after more than 130 years!), mixing typical movement and capture ludemes with permanent line-of-sight control of the central square.\n\nThe game mixes forward movement with sowing stacks which are the only way for armies to increase their size.",
+        "slimetrail": "Slimetrail was designed by Bill Taylor in 1992. Initially the game was played on the Hex board and a stalemate was a draw. The game evolved to be played on a 8x8 board, where a stalemated player loses the match. This version was used in the Portuguese Tournament of Board Games for several years. There are some 1970s precursors of this theme, like Knight Chase, Blokeo, ZigZag and Tesoro (cf. WAG's page in the links).",
         "spire": "In this implementation, if you select only one space, it assumes that you placed the ball of your colour, and if you select two spaces, the first space is for the neutral ball and the second space is for the ball of your colour. If the first click is on a space where only one of the neutral ball or the ball of your colour is valid, it will automatically commit that ball.",
         "spook": "When using the randomised board setup, the only fairness heuristics that we currently have are that (1) the number of balls in solid 5-ball pyramids of the same colour are equal for both players and (2), the second-highest layer must contain balls of both colours. Feel free to contact us on Discord if you think of other ways to make the game fairer.",
         "spora": "Spora takes the concepts like group, liberty and territory, known from territorial games like Go, and adds support for stacks. Stacks can sow their pieces to adjacent intersections, capturing enemy pieces or supporting near friendly structures. The total number of pieces is limited, so players need to manage their finite budget to reach endgame controlling as much territory as possible. The limited budget implies that players must measure well when and how to deploy stacks with multiple pieces (like having an arsenal of daggers, but always being hesitant when to use them)\n\nSpora is the Greek σπορά, meaning 'sowing'.",
