If I am correct, everybody has only one place to put X5, except for one very sad player who has no place for it:

Code:
                                OUT at piece 16
1 mathgrant     2 MatthewV      3 ralphmerridew 4 /dev/joe
xxxxxxxxx       xx...#.xx       xxxxx....       xxx.xxx#.
xxxxxxxxx       xxxx###xx       xxxxxxx..       xx.xxx###
xxxxxxx#x       xxxxx#xxx       xxxxxx...       xxxxxxx#.
xxxxCx###       xxxxCCxxx       xxxxCxxxx       xxxxCxx..
xxxCCxx#.       xxxCCxxxx       xxxCCCxxx       xxxCCxxxx
xxxCCCxx.       xxxCCxxxx       xxxCCxxx.       xxxCCxxxx
xxxxx.xx.       xxxxxxxxx       xxxxxxxxx       xxxCxxxxx
xxxxxxx..       xxxx.xxxx       xxx..xxxx       xxxxxx.xx
xxxxxxx..       xxxx...xx       xxxxxxx.x       x.xxxxxxx


The 17th piece is. . .
Code:
Die roll:  1  2  3  4  5
Piece:    L3 I4 L5 N5 T5


Dice Roll:
Original Roll String: 1d5
1 5-Sided Dice Results: 4

I can place N5, while MatthewV and /dev/joe cannot, so I win. MatthewV finishes in second place because he has four connected open spaces, compared to /dev/joe's three.

Good game!

I am surprised at how fast this game went. I want the game board to fit all the pieces if you play perfectly! Half my plan was to expand in a way that I could fit plan for everything to fit and be touching. And then I found it to be impossible.

Even with an L3 coming up, the final placements would have been the same

I personally think making the grid a mite too small to hold all of the pieces was a deliberate, and excellent, design choice.

Oh, I agree that it makes a better game. But it prevented me from doing what I wanted to do!

This game would also be interesting with two copies of the pieces and a quarto style of you pick the piece, I put it on the board. That way you always get the worst possible pieces. And the joy of giving the worst possible piece Felicitous
