This is a very strange game. I have not played it yet, but I don´t know how can both players agree about the exact moment the simultaneous move is going to be made. I suppose this is a game which must be played using a computer, if you try to play it physically, conflicts may arise all the time between players, so a referee must be needed. In many games a lot of pieces can fall down the board in some moves, or the board and pieces can fall down the table. Timed games make not sense if the total time is, by definition, equal for both players. I have to play an experimental game to see, but I think I´ll use a computer as interface.
