Weird. no different that regular chess where tho other player's pawns are upright.
where are you going pawn?
Sort:
Interesting, I think this might be a good idea yeah, some indication of which direction, because those small cognitive loads do add up in 4-player. I don't think I've ever misjudged a pawn, but I'm sure it does weigh on your brain. Question is, does that make the game more or less fun?
I made this layout suggestion a while back (it was before the player names and such were next to the board):
imo, it does not look that well with turned pieces, but players having an option to view this way might be interesting.
I agree with OP that it would have to be just pawns or you just increase cognitive load that much more

I can see how this layout could be very useful if we ever do a "vampire" variant. Where when you capture/checkmate a king, those pieces and that turn become yours to control.

Martin,
I'm curious what the board would look like if you kept the pawns like you have in your example here but put all other pieces back they way they are currently facing? Hard to get a visual figure its going to look and be strange or maybe it brings a little bit more comfort level to the board?
just the pawns, curious what that would look like
