Or what if you replaced a rook with Jeremy's weak version, and allowed
castling with it, to start? Then you could upgrade to the full lion later,
after a player has had experience with the weaker version. Maybe use 2,
replacing both rooks and leaving the queen. If you did that, you could
dispense with those I can't capture your lion if you capture my lion with
your lion... rules.
