What should we expect from playing your game?
It is a new varient for my Raviolo The Magician series, but it is also a fun chess varient for anyone who loves chess and Angry Birds.
Did you try anything new?
There is one unique piece not featured in any faerie chess game, the Bomber, which can explode enemy pieces around him while sacrificing himself.
Will you participate in the next one? (Summer 2026)
Probably not.

Nice twist on chess, and the concept of dropping in pieces adds a strategic twist to asymmetrical exchange of pieces on board. Very large amount of instructions, but a good game nonetheless.
Really cool twist on chess and shogi vibes here. The reserve hand drops plus the bomber splash damage make the tactics feel wild but still thinky. Love the Avian-Slavic flavor and custom notation, gives it a unique identity.
Did you take inspiration from shogi for the layout and the dropping?
That’s what I did, yeah.
