The Game of Warriors

Name inspired by chess. Game idea is hazy but sort I was thinking something inspired by Othello with game play inspired by Pente if you know those board games. Board is traditionally wood with wood coins for playing pieces. Board design might be round, view of a tree when seen from above, which is how a gliding yazirian might have viewed it. It should be a simple gaming mechanic but strategic in nature and since its the yazirian Game of Warriors there should be the "killing" and removing from play of piece.
