Starting positions for all games

Each player is represented by one colour.

It is traditional for players to sit directly in front of the side where there is a chevron of their colour placed in the middle of that side, and traditional in the 3 player game for the player "in the middle" to take the first move.

Setting up the board for the opening position


If there are three or four players in the game, then each player has three chevrons to start: for the two player game each has four.
