Note:
If you would like the source, email me. I make no claims as to the merchantability nor fitness for a particular purpose of this game, and as such shall accept no liability should someone get curious enough to actually download and run it, causing nuclear bombardment or some act of God/aliens/tax authority.

There is a known "bug" if you run it on a system with a custom font size. The play pieces will be aligned relative to the font point settings, while the board graphic is scaled relative to pixel size. Use "small fonts" in 'font size' somewhere on your display properties/settings tab. Failure to do so may result in tax audit.

Misc.
This game is being ported to Java, and is currently in code freeze. Actually, there are no plans to continue visual basic development of this game. Porting to Java should reduce bloat, allow more platforms, and possibly allow a GPL distribution license. We are also going to try some new experiments, the results of which will be announced if they are actually done.
