I just thought of another way to improve this game. It's just a thought
however and I haven't tested it. What if you devide the 16 squares in the
middle into four like;
AB
CD
And move A one step up, B one step to the right, C one to the left and D
one step down.
I'm not sure yet but I think that would increase the possible ways to take
and thus making it more playable. I'm not totally sure about this yet
though.
I think that this would also create a center ground to fight over, wich
could further improve on the game.
If not changing the game, perhaps introduce it as a game variant?
