In terms of how the game plays, there’s so much surface area between players that it feels limiting that you can only move one piece at a time.\u00a0 Currently, the (dumb) AI opponent can deal with the situation and put up a reasonable fight, but if I make it so that people can input more than one move per turn it will complicate the user interface and I don’t think the “AI” could cope with the change.<\/p>\n
