A fantastic game, which deserves to be more widely known. After many
discussions about whether Hostage Chess should be considered as the best
piece-dropping variant over Chessgi, this game overseeds both by some way.
It has the following advantages :

- Only one set of pieces is needed, unlike Chessgi.
- The rules are kept very simple, unlike Hostage Chess.
- The possibility for the king to capture one's pieces makes defense
easier, counter-balancing the attacking possibilities given by piece
drops, unlike both other games.
- Endgames do exist, unlike both other games. Endgames with possible piece
drops can be quite fascinating.
