Opening queen isn’t necessarily bad, but it’s actually banned in tournaments because it’s a popular opening that let the players move pieces on the third turn, and there’s such a high number of draws when you spawn the queens right next to each other
No comments after over a year makes this late hit less embarrassing. I believe it was R. C. Bell who wrote, in Board and Table Games from Many Civilizations, that when anthropologists found a game being played by the people they were studying, if they understood the rules, they described the game as being like checkers, and if they didn't understand the rules, described it as being like chess.
I really like the multicolored pieces
it's kinda confusing to watch that the top-down view has the players positioned opposite from the side view
