196. Sheik. Coming from Robert Shimmin's game Scheherazade, the Sheik is part Wizard and part Dababbarider: it can move one space diagonally, repeatedly leap two spaces orthogonally in a straight line, or leap (1,3) like a Camel. (FCDD).

Notably, despite its broad options, the Sheik is a colorbound piece, able to reach only half the board.
