As a contestant in the 43 square competition, I felt it was probably my duty to go ahead and provide some feedback for my competitors, but in this case its really quite hard. The only way to be able to figure out just how the game plays is to actually do the playing, since I see no obvious patterns in the board or in the rules. In general, I would wonder about the two fleurbics that start on the front row. It seems a little disturbing to have a piece that powerful so far forwards. Also, the crowned night doesn't seem so weak at all, and I'd like you to explain why you think it is the weakest piece on the board. Also, about being crowded: No kidding! Giving the woozans the intial two step move limits the opening possibilities for black severely, and probably makes things worse, rather than better. The pieces, in general, seem incredibly strong, and makes me think that the openning is just a sort of massacre, where about a third of the pieces come off in very few moves. The weird geometry of the board, with some squares adjacent to more of the other squares than they really should be, doesn't help to make it any less crowded. Then again, this is really only speculation. In order to figure out what's going on in your game, I would actually have to play it, and I'm far too lazy to playtest your game for you.
