Field notes
The rules describe five twelve-socket dials, with pieces allowed to cross from socket 12 to socket 1. Players can adjust several mechanics, including whether a tick is part of a placement turn and how Keeper swaps or rides work. The puzzle section says it uses positions from real games and asks players to make the full turn on the board.
