Just as with simple no pass go, allowing a player to make a play on the board or return a prisoner both simplifies the endgame and increases the score.

I have worked out some eye values for Redstone with prisoner return.

A = 1

B = 2

C = 2* , i. e., 2 plus a dame

D = 4

E = 3*

F = 2

G = 4*

H = 4*

I = 4*

J = 2

K = 3

L = 4

M = 5*

N = 4

O = 5


There are no complicated infinitesimals, only dame. And so far, no score has differed by more than 2 points from the go score.

Edit: Fixed labels. Added an eye.
