It sounds like an interesting game with a clever design and elements of Reversi and Shogi.

Of course, it's now fundamentally a different game, which is fine, but I think comparing it with dominant variants of checkers (which admittedly was not what you asked) would not make sense.

And to your credit you didn't say, like many variant promoters do, that "this is better than plain old (i.e. 'boring') checkers" or "this is the 'modern' version of checkers" or anything of that nature.

Certainly there's something here for occasional variety play. Will it catch on? Time will tell.
