Churn is now in beta

Churn is one of my most interesting mechanisms from the 33 years I've been designing abstract games.

The churn rate is beyond extreme. For example, on a size 7 hexagonal board (127 cells), it would take about 950,000 turns to complete one play. The default is size 3 (19 cells), which takes about 77 turns.
Gameplay is somewhat volatile. Advantage can switch unpredictability. But overall it's a fairly decent game. Has a respectable "Let's play it again" factor.
