The rules to The Beautiful Tabletop Game are segmentised and simplified in its earliest incarnation to make it easier for the process of replicating the mechanics in game development. Therefore, it is not necessarilly condusive for easy reading, or even easy adoption for play, since any ruleset presented here(described as a version build used in software development), would only offer a fraction of utility to any serious tabletop gamer. However, they are indispensible information for a software developer.
Besides sourcing the original writings form 1969-1971, the rulesets here are also inspired to take from its precursors, which include among others, H. G. Wells' "Little Wars", Tony Bath's rulesets, "Diplomacy", and "Siege of Bodenburg". Feel free to take a look at the versions below:
