Oh, I agree that it makes a better game. But it prevented me from doing what I wanted to do!
This game would also be interesting with two copies of the pieces and a quarto style of you pick the piece, I put it on the board. That way you always get the worst possible pieces. And the joy of giving the worst possible piece  |

I personally think making the grid a mite too small to hold all of the pieces was a deliberate, and excellent, design choice. |

Even with an L3 coming up, the final placements would have been the same |

I can place N5, while MatthewV and /dev/joe cannot, so I win. MatthewV finishes in second place because he has four connected open spaces, compared to /dev/joe's three.
Good game! |

If I am correct, everybody has only one place to put X5, except for one very sad player who has no place for it:

When I realized that all the pieces didn't fit on the board I knew my idea of spreading out wouldn't work. |

And hopefully nobody noticed the edit to close the dice tag and then another to roll a d9 instead of a d19 (result=15). Don't worry, I learned long ago that cheating at games is stupid.
