Board size

Post by DarkUpquark »

I would very much like to see an option to play with a two-row board size as depicted in the rules. Three rows of pieces feels over-the-top and makes for a crazy lengthy game.

Hope it can be considered!

Besides, the wiki rules say the board is 13×13, but the game is 17×17. I know anyone can edit the wiki, just mentioning it in case it's an alternate (not implemented) setting or something.

According to the rules, there's also supposed to be 9 checkers per player, not 18.

At first I thought it's because all 36 checkers are used in both 4 and 2 player games, but I see that the illustration for a 4 player game also shows 18 checkers per player. Should definitely be able to choose between 9 checkers on a 13x13 board and the current 18 checkers on a 17x17 board.

I checked a little. There was a bug report about this that was refused by the developer, but the links with rules that the discussions referred to are not working anymore. In any case, this is very simple - instead of looking at this as a bug that needs to be fixed, it can be an option to give players a choice between 17x17 with 18 checkers and 13x13 with 9 checkers.

Please upvote my suggestion about that here: https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=221177
