A strange little side quest
The next time SwordFall Kingdoms asks for one more try, remember that game ideas rarely appear from nowhere. Modern chess traces back to the Indian game chaturanga, recorded around the sixth century and built around pieces representing parts of an army. The same trail leads to another fact: Nintendo's Donkey Kong arrived in 1981 and introduced the character first known as Jumpman, who later became Mario. That gives SwordFall Kingdoms a little more company than it first appears to have.
