Yes! I totally agree on the boardsize! I tried the 5x6 board as well and immediately found it consuming too much time. My partner lost focus and found it too difficult to oversee…. She won’t play chess with me, but Hoppsi 5x5 she likes. For me….
I like the mandatory multi-capture rule
And the instant win when a multi-capture can whipe all your opponents pieces (which happend one time so far)
What is Pico 8??
Great to hear you and your partner are enjoying the 5x5 game! Pico 8 is a system for programming and playing digital games that look like they were made in the 80’s. My picture at the top of this post is from the Pico 8 version of Hoppsi I am working on. When I am done, you will be able to play against a computer opponent in your browser.
I still want to test the “forced biggest jump” rule more. There is precedence for it in some capture games, but usually players get to choose.
