This clearly cannot be played on an Interactive Diagram or in Game Courier. I don't think Jocly can handle it, either. What about Zillions of Games?

Apart from multi-player games, which this is not, Game Courier can be used for any Chess variant Zillions-of-Games can be used for. So, if it can't be played on Game Courier, it can't be played on Zillions-of-Games. However, it might be doable in Game Courier if you laid out the 24 faces on a 2D surface and labeled each one.

Any others?

If you want to create a 3D playing area, Steam might be useful, but I don't know if it can handle rule enforcement. Since you already have experience with creating 3D pieces for printing, you might have an easier time developing for Steam than I would have. For CV programs and systems with 2D displays, nothing is more configurable than Game Courier.

Does this coordinate system work, and seem to be clear?

It looks horribly confusing, but I'll see if I can make more sense of it tomorrow when it isn't so late.
