Game variant: Ad Random

Ad Random (just an example)

The mp in the diagram below are placed ad random by means of two lot numbers drawn out of a hat, the first lot is the name of the mp and the second lot is its position from 1- 64. From that totally haphazard position the mp must be played to the strict and very formal end position of the Master Pi Game. In this way one can generate a sheer endless number of ad random begin and end positions, each having its own unknown problems just like they happen to us in life. In this example game it happens that we have to make an exemption to the regent's rule of standing on a white hexagon in the beginning of the game. They are however, played to the correct white hexagon in the end position. Pioneers 15 and 13 are already home. But this is up to the discretion and choice of the players to determine beforehand what rule they are going to apply.

Remarks:

• 41*. The key move of friendship: the final peace move of four moving parts, two sets of black an white regents and their magisters of the same colour, simulteneously exchange place.
  Both regents com on a white hexagon next to their magister.
• The addition of the redemptions of white/blue (h) + realisations (r) + key move = 16 in this game.
• The addition of the redemptions of black/red (h) + realisations (r) + key move = 14 in this game. Do we add the pioneers on 13 and 15, who were on the home position from the beginning of the game, than we get 16 again.
