I thought I'd lose if the king was trapped—like some sort of stalemate—so I played through the game with that in mind. It might make for a fun variant.
I should add I didn't expect to find the rules in the Post-mortem, so I gave up on that after skimming through the page and jumped right into the game.
If the king is trapped he eats the highest-scoring neighboring piece and takes its spot.
It's worth noting if the board is full this doesn't happen. This was helpful in my strategy because I could set up several pathways like I was playing checkers without fear of losing anything.
