David, it's simple. Gary has designed a game where he can win faster. This reduces stress, so it must be a good thing... ;-) And based on how he's done so far, this game will undoubtedly be in the next big tournament here, so he's clearly a successful designer!

Seriously now, this is a lovely-looking game, Gary. Very nice job, ingenious and creative. I like the lower piece density for the larger board, also; it gives your pieces room to play. I'll save a rating until I play it, but it looks real good. Congratulations on another out-of-the-mold variant.
