Modern chess would just be two types of pieces, pawns and oligarchs, winner gets all the marbles from Hungry Hungry Hippos except for 1 that we, the hippos, are allowed to fight amongst ourselves to keep
I like it. But I thought we were the pawns? I guess we could be pawn hippos, but that seems way too OP. Can you imagine an army with a frontline of armored hippos?
I thought about that, but I felt it more apt that we’re playing a different game entirely. I also thought about saying we’re just the board that the real pieces are marching on top of in their power struggles.
They should update it to include legislatures, private military contractors, etc… It really hasn’t kept up with the times, if I’m honest.
