I am not sure whether I played maka-dai-dai or just dai-dai. I have to
check with Peter Blommers. I do remember that we had lots of fun setting up
the pieces and checking the documentation for their moves. Playing the game
felt like being in wonderland. We were never sure we had any control over
the game (for a very good reason: we had no clue what was going on), but we
just enjoyed moving our armies around, engaging in battle, capturing
pieces, being amazed by the wide variety of pieces with very odd moves.
Suddenly sometimes pieces got taken by pieces that seemed too far away and
blocked by other pieces, which led to some very hilarious moments.

Cheers, Pieter.
