Funny position. No more supplementary stones left in the game. Black can send the two Guards without any risk to the other side of the wall. The Knight stay at home. There is no way for the white Marshal to enter the other side, because of the blocks.

It is interesting. It feels like there will be some problems that arise due to the more unlimited scenarios.

I agree with a previous poster, there are a lot of English issues within the website.

I like the idea that it might be harder to cheat because engines would struggle to keep up with all the possibilites.

It's strange how so many pieces are equine. It would have made more sense to have quite different animals like rabbits and kangaroos to make learning the game more straightforwards.

I've just noticed you can seem to play the game without giving heaps of money up front.

That's really off if we can't even play it online.

It is annoying that the English translation on the website is apparently not good. It was a translator with hundreds of reviews and nearly always with a rating "very good".
The rules for the game would be professionally translated by the producing company.
Yes, you can try the game. Join the club!

How can we try the game without paying money first?

You can play the game in the club for free. If you like it, I hope you would participate in the Kickstarter campaign later. But of course that's your decision.

After Elephant H15 black resigns.
