Not even thinking of that.

I will not be a happy camper if you get rid of the green one. I always choose the green piece. And on those occasions when my opponent chooses it before I do, it screws me up for the entire game.

Ok. I'll contact tomas and see if it's easily done.

There is indeed a 4-player version which I only just discovered. It's called Ftoou Senet.

yes getting rid of one would solve the problem, although the green is also a bit dark.
TBH not sure why we need more than 2 colours, but isn't there a 4-player version now?

Have to be careful not to screw up existing games though

What if we just got rid of the dark blue piece? There's a light blue and a total of 6 colors without the dark blue which should be more than sufficient.
I'd have to ask T if that's possible.

Can anything be done to the blue & purple colours so there is a bigger difference, it's tricky to distinguish when both are used in the same game

This variant differs from Senet in that four players are involved, and each receives 4 pieces.

I've done a google search and apparently it is Coptic (Egyptian) for the number four.

Ftoou Senet is a four player version! Anyone have ANY idea what FTOOU stands for??
