Ultima. Game where each type of piece has a different capturing ability. Also called Baroque. (8x8, Cells: 64) (Recognized!)[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]There are three major Ultima cousins from the last decade, Rococo, Maxima, and Fugue. I agree that Long Leaper is better not a paired piece on plain vanilla 8x8. Also King as Knight would set off great with Pincer Pawns, as the current comment suggests. Dissatisfaction with U. led to above Rococo, Maxima, and Fugue, keeping the core concept of mostly non-displacement capture. Individual variantists would tend to rate Ultima last, fourth of these four now, for reason of constricting play. Whether over fifty years old is a new CV any longer is debatable.
