That's a really good idea, actually, come to think of it. I was thinking
earlier about how, once the need to move first (e.g. to get a vulnerable
piece out of danger) is not present in this game, it becomes potentially
beneficial to wait it out and see what others do before you act. But that is
assuming you know when the turn will end.

If you don't, then this creates a tension between moving late (to use
foreknowledge) and moving early (to make sure you get a move in before the
field turns). Great!
