The diagrams are not enough for me to understand it. I need a written description of the rationale behind it.

I've fully changed the graphics, and written out an explanation as well as I could, and also gotten a start on the physical board setup (this may become a Project later on).

A question on that, though: is 5" clearance between boards (with 1" squares) sufficient? I could increase it to 7.5". Too close makes it hard to reach the pieces in the middle, but too far makes it hard to see the relationships between pieces, which would already be a challenge even for me.

Also, would it be helpful to use a different tray color on the Home and Opposing Faces?

(Those trays, by the way, will also be labeled as to which Face they are and which Faces each side leads to.)
