Field notes
The rules specify both a mandatory capture and a defensive tower: two pieces on one space cannot be bumped or jumped. The site’s press kit describes Poleana as descended from pachisi and says it spread through Mexico City in the mid-twentieth century; that history is presented as the project’s account. A “Can it run on yours?” section also invites readers to submit hardware photos, with selected examples to appear on the site.
