Everyone on Mars is too busy playing Icehouse to pay attention to business! The government has essentially shut down because everyone working for it is too occupied moving around brightly-colored pyramids to do their jobs. But the Brigands of the Canals aren't playing, they're going to make a killing instead. They're seizing the canals, and making the farmers pay them for water. The farmers would fight back, but they're too busy playing Icehouse, so it's easier to pay...

Edges is an abstract stategy game of placement for two, played on the 31 edges (not squares or points) of a three by four rectangular grid representing the canal network.
