I just wanted to comment on the Elephants being able to use the Majic Carpets or be blocked by the center void. You may have missed the fact that I mentioned right toward the beginning of the rules that an enjoyable variation is to have a set-up phase in the beginning of the game. If you use this option (which I highly recommend!) you can choose to set up your pieces in such a way as to allow the Elephants to use the Majic Carpets... One of my favorite optional opening set-ups is to have one Elephant and one Dabbabah on each color. Thanks for trying our game!
