Sky. Brilliant original game by Christine Bagley-Jones. Pieces promote through a succession of odd leapers eventually to a rooks.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I took up the Bat, as it were, for Man and Beast 03 when I realised how well a flying mammal fitted my ideas for naming its components - the 8:1 Ibis as part of a sequence of bird names for near-Rookwise leapers leaping off the Flamingo, and the 7:4 Ibex as a similar name but after a 'standard' quadrupedal mammal. For 9:2 I kept up the bird theme with a suitably unwieldy Albatross, while 8:7 I termed Curate as part of a sequence of churchmen for near-Bishopwise leapers. The combined root-85 leaper I termed Priestess as bird+churchman=woman suitably echoed the radial linepieces.
