Nice! At worst, I appreciate the board's color scheme.

Is the Wildebeest Royal? What's the victory condition?


Bn Em wrote on Fri, Jan 12 09:58 PM UTC in reply to Bob Greenwade from 04:26 PM:

A quick test w/ the ID suggests ꝥ the lovers are the (absolute) royalty

The royal piece is usually the last piece on the piece table.

They jump over 4 friendly ducks with no enemy duck in between those friendly ducks to capture the enemy king which wins you the game.
