* Only NORMALLY permits ONE stationary seat – North / South at table 4 – though I now have a variant that can accommodate a second fixed seat, but with more complex board movements

** Ideally, these movements require duplicated boards to avoid complex board-shares

*** Board set A: tables 1, 2 and 3; Board set B: tables 4 – 16; Board sets swapped after 6 rounds
