Thanks Richard!

User tourney if you want to practice starts 12/1 here.

Is pass rule implemented?

Pass rule is implemented (pass is possible as second part of move). But there was another bug (ignored height of stack).

YES! Thanks, Richard!

Thanks Richard.

I'm having some problems seeing the difference between red and green pieces, I think it would be nice for all those with color blindness to change the looks of either the red or green pieces. Other than that I really like the visual design. :)

It is hard to choose proper colours. I need not only three different colours, but for small dots, they must be visible on white and black background.

Purgency:  I agree.  I like games to be maximally accessible.

Richard:  Would circles, squares, and hexes work?  I'm trying to visualize the aesthetics of it, but can't.

Many thanks, Richard!

William Fraser: I have similar idea: circle, octagon, hexagon.

Or add some pattern to circles.

Yes, an octagon would probably look better than a square.

Richard, thanks for adding a new game!Would you fix Tzaar's SGF please? Without the initial board configuration, the current SGF records are quite useless.

Richard, your suggestion of adding pattern seems to me more promising than varying the shape.  How about one, two or three concentric circles of a contrasting colour at/near the perimeter of the piece, leaving room for your dots within?

One solution may be to leave the Totts blank (as in the physical game) and use numbers for stack height (how Dvonn is implemented on this site).

What I miss most is a way to know the colour of my eaten pawns. Would it be possible to display it (the colour of the eaten pawn) by moving the mouse on top of the new pawns with a pink light circle ?

What I would like would be to have the number of each type of piece remaining on the board for each player.

I can't agree with having a number of piece types available, but the green/red pieces are definitely too difficult to distinguish. Differing shapes would probably look good and be distinguishable on both mobile and desktop devices.

Kris Burm has a useful video about the rules of Tzaar here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NEtt_Zsl-w

I plan create for some games more color schemes. There is BW version of Tzaar. You could change it with button “color scheme” directly on game page.

Thanks for another interesting game!

At first I found the non-standard color scheme difficult to see, but now I'm used to it and I like it. One thing that I would find useful is a summary of number of pieces of each type left for each player, so that I can see at glance where we are and wouldn't need to count. This would be similar to the group sizes displayed for Catchup. Not necessary, but helpful.

@Kerry Handscomb.  That is what I was trying to request, only you stated it much more clearly.  Thanks.
