Jeremy, I want to play it before actually rating it, but my general sentiments are quickly discovered in my comment. 

Graeme, okay, I went back and counted the 'forward' trigons for the Queen and the Tower, and came up with 18 for the Queen when it's just behind the midline as opposed to 15 for the Tower; 15/18 = 5/6 = 10/12, so there's a match to your values. I would like to play Devil's Advocate just a bit here, and ask why the Queen is not reduced somewhat for being moderately colorbound. Now it's true the Q can reach any of the 11 trigons in the back rank from a [actually, the corresponding] trigon in the front rank in one turn, and the T cannot. There is one trigon on the back rank [the King's location] that the T cannot reach in one move. But only one - the T can get to any point on the board in 2 moves, just as the Q. And the T has 1 more valuable attribute the Q no longer has, the T can interdict the King. The amount of colorboundness and the ability to interdict should push the 2 piece values closer together here, no?

Hey Graeme, you thought about Penrose tiling? :-) Enjoy, and real nice game; I'm looking forward to playing triangular games.
