I wonder if this game needs some kind of "Universal Predator"  that could break the "Fear Hierarchy". Still thinking about it.

I take it that a hunter can't be adjacent to an opponent's hunter, thus can never capture another hunter. But hunters are natural predators of other hunters. Does that mean that you don't control a red square by a hunter if the opponent still has a hunter?

Do you control a red square by, say, a cat when the opponent has no cat and no dog but has a mouse that may later promote to cat or dog?

Hunters are the only exception, as I mentioned in the Rules. But they can't hold a red square if there are other Hunters on the board.

Yes, if that Mouse can be blocked and doesn't promote.

  • If these pieces still have natural predators on the board but they are unable to reach these red squares

It feels like there is something missing here.

Pieces can be blocked from reaching a certain square, don't they? Or, in the case of a Bishop of a different colour they will be unable to reach that square.

Being blocked doesn't necessarily mean that a piece is unable to reach a square.

Now that I think about it, I guess the inability to reach a square part refers to the predators, and not the moving piece.

It looks like everything is solved. This page is ready.
