@@nathanlarge4497 I think the 2001 rules are less prone to draws because of the placement phase like the seega game.. still hard to get a real strategy? It would be interesting if anyone actually played this in some sort of tournament play like chess.. I wonder if anyone did analysis on its complexity.. I find it hard to believe that the Greeks and Romans played a game for hundreds of years that always ended in repetitive draws.. Kowalski game is unplayable it's always endless draws

Great info! Halfway through making a board and pieces with a Maker Bot. Exactly what I was looking for.

This was a very informative video, I wonder what the best strategy would be. To keep all your pieces in groups of 2 or more seems like a start. Can't wait to make my own set. Thanks.
