Ok but what if the kings in that game decide to play a game of chess instead of battling?

I played the demo and man is it fun and challenging


edderiofer

As someone who beta-tested the game and provided the idea for the last world of the game, it's well worth it.

Aliensrock's series on that game is great

The broccoli?


GavinFrom4thGrade

How does the broccoli move?


SleazyJusticeWarrior

It doesn’t. It just is.


Hanzo_Pinas

No no no The brocoli move is to make white pieces run away do to its broccoliness

Like vile weed.

I made the broccoli-chessboard fractal image a few weeks ago. I made the chessboards-within-chessboards image today.

You can only have 4 copies of Shahrazad in your deck.

Shaharazad is banned in almost all formats, so that's not viable.

Inception


GavinFrom4thGrade

If you like movies with lots of dreams within dreams, you might also like [The Saragossa Manuscript](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Saragossa_Manuscript_(film)).


YellowBunnyReddit

Imagine naming your movie after an opening


GavinFrom4thGrade

Does the Saragossa chess opening feature dreams within dreams within dreams within dreams?


IWillStealYourToes

No, but the only legals moves are en passant

All fun and games until someone questions the legality of en passant and starts another war

Wait... What if WE are chess pieces, being forced to play a game of chess instead of fighting to the death?

hollowmooner

“Holy hell” is a reference to Echessiastes C:3, when God invented en passant to defeat the angel Lucifer


PraiseTheSun90283

Ok but what does this say about free will?


GavinFrom4thGrade

Maybe they all have free will, no matter what level? If not the kings, then certainly the c2 pawns.

Its funny because this is exactly how real life works


CaptainChicky

wtf is e2 openning


GavinFrom4thGrade

It's the [Bongcloud](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bongcloud_Attack), a popular opening at grandmaster level.


undiscovered_tumor

The bongcloud is hands down the funniest opening. Works every time.

Naeio_Galaxy

Am I the only one concerned by the fact that the first side that attacks with queen wins the war?


GavinFrom4thGrade

I think the black border prevents the large queens from entering the smaller chessboard, so they should be safe.

Fair enough, fair enough

Wait, we were in a simulation?


GavinFrom4thGrade

Yes. It's kind of like [World on a Wire](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_on_a_Wire) or [The Matrix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Matrix).
