A strange little side quest
There is a neat bit of history hiding behind the kind of play you find in Clash of Skulls. Women's boxing made its Olympic debut at London 2012. That old idea kept changing rather than disappearing. Modern chess traces back to the Indian game chaturanga, recorded around the sixth century and built around pieces representing parts of an army. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Clash of Skulls feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
