Status: Declined
Reason: The game does not possess sufficient quality or uniqueness: the alibabas don't change too much in the gameplay except for making it overall worse, and there exists a myriad of permutations of the newly-added pieces that can achieve the same result, as such the placements of the newly-added pieces are not justified and are spammed as such. In addition, we have already had these types of submissions before and declined them due to the gameplay issues.

Say it in open testing
how i can say "-1" in open testing
Would you add an option to be able to choose the pieces of the board that we want to be randomly shuffled (like in chess960 or paradigm)?

i talk, but not working
while i understand and agree with the evaluation, i think duck chess would also fall under this category, wouldn't it?

It doesn't fit with one of the most important parts:

ah so since the only new thing is very linear it's not as different? Whereas the duck completely changes the game (for the worse imo lol)
I mean I get it, Alibaba are not a really exciting piece (not mentioning their kinda ugly looking), and I kiiiind of understand the permutations thing.
They being just "spammed" on the position it's something I do not totally agree. Imo, they are at least better "spammed" than Archbishop and chancellor on gothic chess.
I guess I´m not trying to say my NCV deserves to be added, maybe I'm just saying, as jaakezzz is too, that maybe fun and uniqueness needs to be double checked on maybe a pair of the alrdy existing variants.
But I like duck chess, even tho I rlly suck at it.
good vibes only.

Gothic Chess is the only of 500+ existing permutations that have been analyzed by Ed Trice either manually or via an engine that possesses a sufficient balance and variety as well as strategy variety, and enough openings as well.
Thank You. I didn't know that.
Would be cool to have one of those.
Why not alibaba riders instead of rooks instead, Amazon instead of queen
