No crown, please -- I'm only one among many.  There are plenty of  
Klingon-speaking language geeks, and I was just at a conference last  
week with a dozen others.  So far as I know, none besides me own  
Icehouse sets, but after I bought an original Martian Chess Set five  
years ago I managed to teach three of them to play Homeworlds while  
speaking only Klingon.  I was inspired by the fact that the available  
vocabulary was a good match for the game.

I do need to redo the Klingon version to fit Binary Homeworlds.
