The fact that it doesn't highlight where you've moved already makes it no fun.

Edit: the directions weren't super clear. I see that you're actually supposed to go to every square in a specific order (first G8, then F8, E8, etc), not just visit them all in any order. That means you have to do a bunch of laborious trips around the queen to go to certain squares since you won't have enough room to maneuver directly there.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

That and some explanatory text as to what the game actually is. My first thought was to try to capture the queen.

I tried and it wouldn’t let me. :(

Yeah the goal is actually to avoid the queen while visiting every space. Eventually I clicked "Help" and learned that.
