The description seems to use the terms 'earthly domain', 'celestion domain' and 'board' inconsistently. When you say 'bring a Watcher onto the board', you seem to mean 'into the earthly domain'. The board is 11x11, and the Watchers are already on it.
What does this mean? Does it become part of the earthly domain, so that Watchers can now be moved to it and flipped there? Or does it mean that ordinary pieces can enter the celestial domain, but through non-captures only?
This is not how a Duck moves in Duck Chess...
This is not a new rule, but a (rather obvious) consequence of the fact that the Watchers move like a Queen. Better omit it.
This is not a rule, but a suggestion how one could play the game over the board using 'woodware'. Such suggestions belong in the 'Notes' section of the article.
The second line seems to follow from the first, but not entirely. Can the Watcher be placed a Knight's jump away from your own King if you are sure that it cannot be a Knight, because all enemy pieces with Knight moves already have been flipped?
What does this mean? Does the capturer survive, and if so, where will it end up. Where will the collor-flipped Treasurer end up? If it is an adjacent empty square, what happens when there is no such square (which could happen when it is captured through a Knight jump)?
How about just writing a FEN for the position between [fen ] and [/fen ] tags? That shouldn't be so hard. You would just have to pick suitable images for the unorthodox pieces from the Alfaerie piece set, and put their ID in the FEN. Or, if they do not have a single-letter ID, write their full name between braces {} in the FEN.
