Right. Minimally checking, it was not in CVPage index, so naturally assume
Hexagons by the name. Now the critique would be that Hex Chess, whatever
the Rules, is just what Nalls describes a 'game favorite', not a CV by
minimal definitional standards: no King etc. That is okay since there are
others in CVPage not CVs, but interesting, such as Weave & Dungeon, and another example my own recent thread under ChessboardMath not really CVs. Piece values for Joyce's game should not be difficult by comparisons with hundreds of other sets, dependent on objects not entirely programmable. Never having looked at the game(s)[Shatranj-type] I shall post piece values in Game Design Analysis, more useful than any 50-page rigorous formula not only because of supposed art to value
determinations, but also unlimited probabilistic fluctuations in values
from infinitude of only-partly-classifiable design particulars: 2-move options, promotion variety, array, alternate win conditions, untested new fairy pieces in combination, psychology and so on more or less indefinitely.
