Each player can have up to <BD><COL=GREEN><SIZE=12>15<NM> pieces. The arrangement of <BD><COL=RED>pieces<NM> and corresponding <BD><COL=RED>destinations<NM> at the starting point should be equal with respect to all players, so that no player will have a positional advantage over its competitors at the onset of the game.
No piece can be either <BD>extracted</BD> nor <BD>added</BD> throughout the game.
