So, yes pillars will be able to go on top. More likely the dual sones would go on top. I also have POSTS with lengths of chain, that can go on/near/beside and when a double opens (note it has room for an actual cage and ramp for beasts to be able to emerge as living obstacles. Finally the idea of the covers was to add a random factor to WHICH pit opens. As it's played now, you can see where the pits are from the start and you take care to avoid/manipulate your position taking them into account. THIS SYSYEM however is more 'random' and try to arena matches. So the intent is to have all the pits covered at start of game. Then at the end of that and all the following round, a die is rolled and one pit randomly opens up creating a surprise addition for both players.
Wow! The random pit idea sounds amazing, that should be a huge success and very dramatic I reckon. Please give specifics when you have the details worked out. Like, I presume you won't just have a random pit open up every turn, otherwise all the pits will be open after X turns.
And I noticed the animal cage in one of the earlier photos - I really want closeups of that and info about how you intend to use it. And I love posts and chains.
