The Drops: Pocket Tag

Description

In these variants, each player has a pocket space that is detached from the board, and he may drop a piece from that space onto an empty space sometime during the game. This may be a one-use pocket that already has a specific piece in it, or a player might be able to move a piece there under certain conditions.
