Note - This Variant is not done yet. This is just a concept of it. If you find any rules you do not agree with please tell me. ~ Goopy//C. Note-2 - Making a guide to the squid piece soon. (I may actually remove the piece to keep it easily possible to play in real life. Then again I have an idea for the piece.)
