RE: Invitation to all anarchists, politics-interested people, gamers and philosophers: Join my experiment!
Part of how anarcho-capitalism would work (IF it would work) would be the idea that what I do with my land could not be limited as long as it didn't infringe upon on the nearby land owned by others. You have created rules for what can and cannot be done which is necessary for making a game. Yet these rules are similar to the rules a government/state would be able to impose. I realize why you are doing this as the rules for the game would be truly likely way to complicated in terms of the multitudes of different choices people might be able to pursue.
Can I for example grow food on my land, work on getting a clean water source, and build a shelter? If I can do those things then I at least could survive on my land.
Right now it is unclear if this is possible. Then can I grow more food on my land than I need. If I can then that gives me something to barter with other people for.
As I am unclear how the water might come into play I'll choose G6 for your game, but flood conditions and other things are unclear. Does it have an annual flood like the Nile, can I dig a well for water on another square not near the river, is their running water.
This will not really explain anarcho-capitalism, though it will be a fun game, because the limit to possibilities is something artificially imposed and such limitations can make it so it wouldn't work.
I used to play a lot of M.U.L.E. which your board reminds me of. :)
What is the importance of shelter?
How much space is required for shelter?
How can I acquire and claim more land?
For the last 3 lines those things I intended to introduce step by step, depending on what happens. In your example it could be:
There is a flood and all food in the river regions has rotten.
Everyone living there has to get food - which way ever.
How will the people react? Will there be theft (or at least the attempt of), will others help? If yes how? Everyone single? Or via a committee? Via "taxes"?
What if the "tax is theft" people do not pay their share of the tax? Will they get murdered in their beds by "commies"?
Everything is open to imagination.
So will your proposal in this first turn be:
We need land distribution rules. The rule is: I grab G6?
Oh, I forgot: If you look at the AP rules you see you can grow more food, since food is also production ;)
Well I need food right? So I need some place to get food. If I can survive a turn without any food, shelter, etc then securing land for food would be my first step. so I'll grab G6 as my first preference but could settle for G5, or G7 if there is contention.

M.U.L.E. sounds intersting ^^
It is old... but was a great deal of fun. You can play a remake of it for free at planetmule.com
