I'm confused, it sounds like you say at 3:15 that the white piece could not capture the shortest gray piece. Is this just a misunderstanding from me / misspoken part from you? Because it doesn't go inline with what you say at 3:05 (pieces can capture those that are the same height or smaller). Or is this explained by the "David and Goliath rule" you drop at 4:00? If so, the order of those explanations was a bit confusing, if I'm honest. Other than that, great coverage, helped me decide to throw this into my pledge for the recent 5-Minute Dungeon Kickstarter campaign. Thanks, Tom! :)

For two people to play, simply invoke the rule I learned long ago: You can move a piece on either board your opponent didn't play. Makes it interesting. Scoring would be more about which board you choose, and which the opponent then chooses. You do not score the third. :-)

Has anyone tried this with 2 players? I would love to know their thoughts. I want this game but only my mom will likely play it with me.

good review, looks interesting, but think i'd go else where, my fiance likes abstract games.

Silly Tom, it's pronounced "Talat" ;)

Still not as prominent as "As the game progresses."

Looks too simple and expensive, not a good combination.
