This Game is for the Birds. Game where pieces fly past obstacles and some pieces capture by pecking. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]''In the original conception of this game, the counterpeck of a dying piece could kill the Roc's Egg (King), and Pawns (Nestlings) had only their usual FIDE powers.'' Betza, Aronson and Lawson rightly uphold imaginative TGIFTB as perfectly playable and could add today more entertaining than 90% of 2007-2008 rerun fare. In rating Betza's ''This Game is for the Birds'' Excellent also, Peter Aronson comments: ''This is a strange and very mobile game, where pieces ghost around freely, and a Pawn's life is not a happy one.''
