Really good first variant submission! While the idea of mixing minihouse and tinyhouse is interesting, we found out the execution is not unique enough. Experimenting more with the piece choice and maybe trying to work with gamerules would definitely enhance this variant. Another thing we want to point out is that promotion on the 4th rank to king is extremely overpowered and it breaks the synergy of pieces, making king royals and pawns worth a lot more than ferzes and wazirs, making the gameplay dependent on fast promotion.

Don't get sad, we will be happy to see a revision of this!

(-1 coopster, -1 croissant) idea is not original enough, already have existing variants (tiny house) with similar concepts

This variant is not original enough and i found the promotion very overpowered, when you promote the pawn to the king it is very hard to checkmate unless you use a promoted pawn to checkmate, and that wazir and ferz very redundant.
