That late game board you have on the back looks so good, I can nearly hear the pieces hitting the board.

Very cool to see a real game in a tweet cart. You even keep track of the captured pieces so you can accurately score at the end.

This is great. Well done with so few characters. I like the white/black outline for who's turn it is, clever. 

thanks! it was a fun one to make.
