I have something new for you for this Holiday Season ... crazy as usual, easy and mind twisting variant ...can be played face to face as well ...

1. All traditional rules apply with two novel ideas.

2. Player's pieces are not at the bottom of the screen, and they are instead AT THE TOP ... so, we have to play downward ... nothing really changes besides our position by the table ... (that's enough to get dizzy)

3. Gravitational forces are in effect and  the pawns can be dropped downward as many fields as you wish and can ... you can drop them in stages, let's say,  first drop is from row 7 to row 4 and later you may drop it to row 1... watch for the open columns since pawns can reach the last row(at the bottom of the screen, of course) very fast and promote (even faster, lol)...

****

Hope you like this idea. I wish you a very Happy Holiday Season and a Happy New Year.

Andy.
