All pieces

Guardian King

Category: king. Active power, once per game.

Once per game, can make one queen-style move (any distance along a rank, file or diagonal, blocked by pieces; never into check). If that line reaches the enemy king, this king stays put and gives check: the opponent must move their king to a safe square. Either way the power is used up and it moves as a normal king afterwards.

Guardian Aura

One queen-style move. Reaching the enemy king gives check: they must move the king. Ends your turn.

The story behind the piece

A king who leads from the front, willing to draw his own blade with the ferocity of a queen.
