only one small complaint: if the king exchanges places w/ the seer on the
opposite square color, then for the rest of the game you will have 2
seers
on the same color squares! Since they are colorbound pieces, this seems
like a problem. perhaps the solution is to only allow the king exchange
w/
the same(sqare)-colored seer--then both seers stay on opposite tracks.
Perhaps another solution would be to allow one of the seers to move 1
square orthogonally next time one of them moves--if both have ended up on
the same color.
  The game looks interesting! :)
