This game makes me excited to begin playing with triangles for the first time.
Can someone with the technical knowhow please add this type of triangle as one of the building blocks for Game Courier?
Who can help with this? Tony?
I'm very excited to play Graeme's game and also design a trigonal game with different types of tiling riders.
In a private note, I am critical of Graeme for choosing to call the queen spire + bishop since a queen is traditionally bishop + rook.
On a second read, I can see how that happened.
The rook already goes to all the squares the bishop goes to, but to retain its defining feature of colorboundness, the bishop can not behave like a spire. So the nomenclature is a bit odd at first, but ultimately it makes sense.

Kudos, Graeme, BRILLIANT job!
