Unless masking works differently than I think it does, that's kind of suboptimal as a solution. Pieces are either masked or not independent of how they're stacked, right? Since the piece on top of each stack shouldn't be masked, a player would have to mask/unmask tokens by hand after doing moves which left previous stack-toppers burried or previously burried pieces on tops of stacks. That would be irritating and error-prone. If there really isn't a way to do this simply at present, then I'm going to add it as a trait, called "Mask If Stacked Upon" or something like that. -- J.
