I haven't played this enough to know if there are any 'cheap'
unavoidable openings, but it seems for now to be a great game. Don't
leave your orthochess training comepltely at the door, because alot of the
same principles apply here. The only odd thing I find about this variant
is castling. You need a consolidating move when castling kingside, and 2
when castling queenside. For that reason, I don't see anyone adopting the
queenside castle.

If you order a set from the company, then know that these sets are really
good! The old pieces look & feel almost like my standard USCF plastic
pieces. The new pieces are just as good, and that cresent moon on the
wizard is NOT going to break off or bend without a hammer. The board is
top quality too as far as 4 fold carboard boards go. I'd prefer a vinal
roll-up type board, but that's just personal preference.
