Piece suggestion: Blockbuster

The blockbuster moves like a king, but it has a special ability: It can move into bricks. It also can break a brick but loses its ability.

yes wanting that. King is the least powerful piece and most important also. So giving it some power will be right. how will it happen?

That's kind of a cool piece, however, imagine if it was royal. It would be invincible, just by moving it onto a wall. You'd have to say that it could still be checked.

i would assume it makes the brick disappear, meaning that the board would still be preserved mostly.

although in some variants, that sure would make it invincible.

ohh

"it can move into bricks"

that's pretty unbalanced imo, maybe have a n-time use ability for walking into bricks

and say the blockbuster can't stay on the same brick for x turns

how about a petard piece. blows itself up but can kill a brick in doing so 💣

What if it just moved 50 squares out of a 14x14 board (yes, you can have more than 14x14) in a diagonal pattern?

Definitely the n-time use ability and some way for other pieces to still attack it when in the bricks.

Idea: it can only stay in the brick for a certain number of moves.

If this was in variants there would be like a million new variants with it.

But could we instead try and make it a game rule that we can restirict to a certain amount of pieces, because then it will probably get a lot more uses
ex- Blockbuster knight, Blockbuster dababa, Blockbuster Amazon, etc. etc.

What is we combined a rook and a bishop and a knight and a king?

Are you actually kidding me?

(But while we’re at it, why not combine an alibaba and feroz and wazir as well)
