You asked how the rules worked out. Answer: we're having some trouble understanding them.
It took me several re-reads to decide that only vertical pieces could 
stack, not horizontal ones. (That is: I thought a Tip on a stack would 
result in a horizontal stack. Now I believe it results in separate 
horizontal pieces.)
I'm still not sure what the targetting rules on Dig and Hop are. Can you 
use those moves to place a piece between two existing pieces? Or does the 
piece have to wind up under/above another piece?
I believe that a move which changes nothing is no move, and therefore 
gives you the opportunity to change the House. Is that right?
Footnote: we may whip out a quick Volity implementation of this...

It's a nice distinction to tell American soldiers (and Iraqis) to die in
Iraq for the sake of democracy (ignoring the question of whether it's
*working*) and then whine that "The Constitution is not a suicide pact."
