+  The piece sitting to the right of the king is a wildebeest (W).
+  It moves by jumping in L like a knight, or a little bit further:

+p.
+  A friend and I talked some day (in 2019) about a variant where pieces

+  This version is inspired by these preliminary trials,
+  because hitting the ball led to somewhat blocked situations.
