Interesting ideas! Also, the game is pretty complete and well-polished, and the artwork and SFX are quite good. Well done!
By the way, I encountered an issue with the AI: When the AI player has no available move next turn(the AI has only one pawn left and it's completely blocked by my pawns), the game will stop running and crash. Hope you can look into this problem.
Anyway, I really like this game. Nice job for a 48h work! Had a lot of fun!
