Or it could lead to a pleasant surprise.

I do agree that it looks silly, though. I don't have much of a problem with it, however, because a lot of real-life animals look silly. As long as the thing isn't a main character.

What the hell is this??

They have shown many aliens that look very silly and fake.

I don't think Ewoks look much better (except they have an important part in the film) and the Gamorrean guards have always struck me as being goofy and fake-looking. Granted, both of those were in the worst of the OT movies. This also looks kind of fake and goofy to me (and so does that worm thing in the cantina):

We're in the next movie?! How come no one told us?!

EDIT: Wait, what next movie?

I've looked over the rules, so I'm ready to play. Which rules would we start with? I think it makes sense to play Wookiee rules first, then Groi's rules, then the holographic rules.

The traffic jam I created on my side wasn't very well planned out.

Sure, we could try it out.

I'll be gone for about a week and a half, which is enough to really interrupt a game, but no, I won't be absent that long. Not as long as last summer, for sure.

First real thunderstorm of the year. :)

I assume by now that the cake has been once again taken apart...

 We've eaten the more intact side of it, yes.

We are Team_Cohort, for we aren't quite as many, but we are still lots.

Alright, here's her cake after we put it back together*:

I should be available about as much as I was this past year. Certainly enough to continue playing, anyway. I'm not sure how busy I'll be immediately after I get back, but my life should be back to normal at the beginning of August.

Wow, I didn't see that coming. I knew my horse was pinned, but for some reason, that obvious move didn't occur to me.

I would love to play Korean chess, but I don't want to be interrupted by my return home right at the peak of the game. This game took us about two weeks, and I leave in less time than that....

It looks like it solves a few minor flaws of Chinese chess (the limitation of the elephant, the uselessness of the pawns, and the immobility of the king), but the cannon not being able to move except by jumping seems limiting While it may work well in Ito Shogi where there's always a piece to jump over, it will weaken the piece a lot in this game. Maybe that won't turn out to be a bad thing. Have you tried playing it already? How have you found it?

I'm doing my best, but I'm very limited in what I can do, since just about any piece I move will undo my defenses enough to let you in. You're in control of the game right now, since all I can do at the moment is defend against whatever new threat each move of yours creates.

If it's ''H'' and he's being strangled by a Wookiee, don't you think it would mean ''help''?

Yup! I guess the square you were missing is on my side of the board.

We're sorry, they couldn't help themselves. ;)

No, we doubt anyone would want to do such a thing.

I can't complain when he does. ;)
