If so you could do it this way, as an example:
Actually the idea came to one of my pupils. We didn't try it yet because I was not convinced that the game would be better. Trying your version with the ludii player shows that it is much better:
- with the ancient version, the typical end was a draw (total distance 1 for each player at the end),
- with your proposal, the first player seems to have a winning strategy.
I'll announce that to the pupils tomorrow, thank you a lot, you considerably enhanced the game. I propose it here although it is not the place.
