Specify the board, the pieces, the casting mechanism, and the victory condition. Playtest the reconstruction with at least one opponent and record what the play revealed about the relationship between chance and strategy on the TLV board.

Completion Criteria

A written specification of the reconstruction (board, pieces, casting, victory condition), the sources drawn upon, the date of the playtest, and a short account of what the play disclosed.
