Cool. Three 10's can claim, since Orange 3 is played already. A cosmetic (but useful and sound thematically) rule I change with this game is to put the claimed stones on the losing hand. It serves as a reminder that you can't play there and aren't we fighting for borders? We want the borders to be far from us, not closer to us. Right?

Absolutely!

Indeed, this was not a "real" game, I just (too, apparently) quickly laid down the pieces for the picture, missed that orange III...

I agree with your cosmetic change, I was thinking of playing this way specially with this wooden version, since the "flags" are pieces of the battle line with the 3 tiles facing each other on them, you will see how your line is pushing the other army.

For a second, I thought this was an ancient Roman form of Scrabble.
