• 2: Each player places 17 black squares instead of 20 each.
• 4: Each player places 15 black squares instead of 20 each.
• 6: Each player places 13 black squares instead of 20 each.
• 8: As well as the black squares, each player also has 5 orange squares to place, which is another color, but no pieces can land there, but they can still step over them.
