Thank you for reaching out!
I think your idea is great, I'm all for it! As a disclaimer, I should note, that I am in no position to permit anyone about this game since it is not mine and this version is just a slightly re-designed version of the original.
In any case, I am excited that this game will be adapted to the digital form. I'm very eager to play it, and if you'll ever need a playtester for your prototype, you can count me in :)
