Thanks for answering my questions. I now get a better feeling
for the tree garden atmosphere. The variant with marquesses looks
interesting since the marquesses, alltho weak, can shift quickly
from one part of the garden to the other.

Here is another game I would rate as 'good' I don't give any style points for coming up with new pieces, these have all been used before. I am concerned that the mobility of the pieces will be restricted by the 4 by 4 gap in the middle of the board. This game is not the only game to use the idea of a 10 by 10 board with the middle 16 square field a gap which cannot be used to hold pieces, sometimes can be jumped by pieces but in this game cannot be jumped. Still, any game which I don't find overly confusing about how to play it I have to at least grade as 'good' <p>
