That's a really neat set! And felt is available in almost unlimited colors, so within broad limits you <strong>can</strong> make just about any board. <p> You don't need hexagonal squares for hexagonal games -- just offset the each row so that the square edges on one row line up with the centers of the surrounding rows. <p> <hr> <p> As a comment on the Rococo game pictured (I just couldn't resist!), it looks to me that your wife's Long-Leaper could be taken by either <b>d:f0</b> or <b>h:f0</b>, since Cannon-Pawns capture by leaping over friendly or hostile pieces.
