How about a game of Japanese Chess, i.e. Shogi? Now playing Shogi4
Time

I don't think three spaces is too much. If we want to set up a better defense, then we can do so during the game. Right now, each square in front of the king is defended by two pieces (including the king) at the start, so it should be fine.

We seem to have a pattern going here: we've played version 4, 8, and now 12. :)

I'll make the first move: Gs-22

Sorry, I guess you're just going to have to get glasses. ;)

I'm too lazy to repost them all, so here's the link to the Flickr page they're on:

Click on the photos, click on them again, and if you still can't read it, right click and select the size you want to view them in, all the way up to 2048p. If that doesn't do it, then you need to see an optometrist. Maybe I'll repost them when I have nothing to do, but right now that is not the case.

I had no luck with VirtualBox. At least it was already installed, but the silly scanner software wouldn't install. But I finally took pictures today (I rushed them so they're aren't perfect) and here they are:

There are four colours (one for each player): silver, gold, white, and black. The pieces are set up in each of the four corners, like this:

I figured I would throw an idea your way to see if you liked it at all before I went through with it. How about putting the T/C behind the king, instead of in front? The T/C would be at the end of the board with the king immediately in front of it and two or three squares between it and the next piece. Having the king forward gives it more ability to defend itself and putting the T/C behind it prevents an opponent from dropping a piece on that square (with another piece defending that end square so the king can't move backwards and take it). Alternatively, however, you may want to move the king forward without putting the T/C behind it since that would be more conducive to paratroop offenses against the king.
