This was reposted because the previous post showed an incorrect final version. This is the final version where Pawn Home Rank is 1, not 0.

Post-acception note: fastest acception ever? It took less than 2 weeks! Post-Post-acception-note note: It's not the fastest acception anymore.

Keep a balance between attack and defense. Every move you make into unknown territory is a risk. As long as you can see, there is still a chance.

While testing this, I saw 3 general ways of playing this:

1. King Rush

2. Trading pieces

3. Hording

Each strategy has its pros and cons.*

Originally, this was supposed to be another "laybrinth variant" like Labyrinth 82 and Arena of Legends, but I knew it needed something more. I tried to use fatal, but players were unable to make any progress, so I turned to Fog of War.

Now, you need to be able to predict, defend, attack, and risk to win this game.

*King rush: You can win quickly if your opponents are unprepared, but it can easily be prevented through adequant hill defense.

*Trading pieces: You get a lot of points through capturing, but it's difficult to reach the hill once you finish trading.

*Hording: You have an abundance of pieces, but you will probably lose because you didn't get any points.

Shoutout to BFDICHESS (now chye3mc), Unknown_2015, BN1208, and Narwhale-Dragon (now Prathu_19) for helping me make this variant!
