A strange little side quest
A small trivia drop for Rose Garden Hearts: Modern chess traces back to the Indian game chaturanga, recorded around the sixth century and built around pieces representing parts of an army. The broader history adds one more wrinkle. Space Invaders, released in 1978, helped push video games into mainstream popular culture. So a round of Rose Garden Hearts is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer strategy games timeline.
