I think the game is bugged. I placed a green chip on another green chip and it didn't capture, and when I asked about it, the LLMs said the bottom chip was yellow, not green.

There seem to be some state management issues, which make this game fairly unplayable. Too bad, because it's an interesting idea.

Llama seems to make illegal moves which confuses the game engine; it tries to play to non-existant piles which causes the chips to disappear (not end up in the Dead box). This then confuses other AIs which are counting chips in the dead box and on the board.

Even were that fixed, that doesn't solve the problem that the AI makes really bad moves. I can win just by doing the following:

1. If there is a pile that I can capture with at least one chip not of my color, do it

2. Otherwise play on the largest pile

    Well, really bad moves are still better than illegal moves. I'm not sure why the engine allows itself to be confused by illegal moves, rather than just... disallowing them.
