A strange little side quest
If Guns and Goos sends you down a curiosity rabbit hole, start here. Chess changed dramatically in Europe during the 15th and 16th centuries when the queen became the board's most powerful piece. The same trail leads to another fact: Midway's Gun Fight from 1975 was the first arcade video game to use a microprocessor. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Guns and Goos feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
