Chess variant. Loka

Hello,

This seems like a good place to post information on a new variant chess game that I thought people would be interested in. The game is called Loka, and it is made by the creator of Shuuro and Turanga, two other chess variants.

There are two major add-ons in Loka. The first is a point based system for building your side. The second is a dice system for determining the outcome of a capture. There are a few other differences but those are the most significant and best explained ones at this time.

Also, I think the game is priced well for coming with a fantasy themed chess set, even if you never play with any of the extra rules.

I will admit this is blatant advertisement, and if I offend I apologize. I am not connected to the creators of the game in any way, I'm just a fan. I was feeling frustrated that this game is stalling when it dawned on me that Kickstarter board game players aren't going to be interested in a cool chess set. So, I'm posting it here. Have a look, if it interests you, go for it. The Kickstarter ends on Sunday March 24th.
