Description

Here's the text from the comic transcribed accurately:

PROPOSALS FOR NEW CHESS PIECES

BISHOP-KICKER
Rules: Moves like King. When next to a bishop, you may choose to move that bishop to any adjacent square.

BUREAUCRAT
Rules: Can only move from current square back to current square, without interfering with pieces in between.

WILDERNESS PRESERVER
Rules: Moves like King. Any space touched by Wilderness Preserver is no longer passable by other pieces.

COMMUNIST
Rules: Moves like bishop. If you remove your communist from the game, for the next three turns, all pieces are equal because you are now playing checkers.

CRAPPY SPY
Rules: Moves like pawn. While on board, you can peek at the other player’s pieces.

GORTAK, THE WORLD-EATER
Rules: Remove three queens you control from the game to summon Gortak. If Gortak enters game, nobody ever wins at chess ever again.
