Bario. Pieces are undefined until they move. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

I give Bario an Excellent in regard to game concept and ease of play. There is, however, the question of capturing an unkown piece. If we look at the rules literally the captured piece would never be defined because the player would never move it. Eventually we would know what it is due to the process of elimination as other pieces show their identity. But another way of playing is to consider a captured piece as a piece that is 'moved' off of the board and must therefore be defined at the time of capture.' It is an important difference as the remaining Barios in play will have their identities revealed faster if captured pieces must be defined.
