Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for May 25, 2020

This is why I’d rather play checkers.

There is zero consistency on this board. I don’t even see a pawn under Marigold’s hoof.

maybe in humans’ chess pawns don’t move that way, but pawns do move that way in unicorns’ chess

Phoebe’s mouth is gone in the 1st panel! O_O

Lesson learnt unicorns chess is complicated

According to the rules, unicornboard looks a lot like calvinball!

The board placed incorrectly. White squares go in the right-hand corners.

Yes they do, Phoebe, especially if they’re PAWNSTARS!

Also, that’s still basically cheating.

Did the pawn get to the end of the board yet? Then it can.

MarigoldChess, from the same source that gave us CalvinBall.

Fairy chess. Pieces that move in odd and unusual ways.

Is it me, or have we seen this one already?

Pawngelica sounds like the “Princess” piece in Jetan, also known as Martian Chess.
