Yes good point. Playtesting is always best way to decide.
Thanks for commenting.
I'm sure there are many variants that include the Cannon and/or Vao among Western pieces. I mention two of them in the introduction above. The variant Yáng Qí for example, which is of course more ambitious than mine. I don't know of any, however, that use the Morley-shaped board.
And Pawns might look nice on those squares, and I indeed tested the game with them, but they allow the Canoness/Bishop pairs to attack them almost immediately, which I think hampers opening play.
Looks like good game. I don't know how original, though. Hasn't something very similar already been done? And if was me, I would include z2z7i2i7 pawns, if no other reason than looks like they should be there.
