Roman Chess
For a board game redesign, I decided to use the classic board game chess. I randomly thought of the idea of Rome, and thought it would work really well. Julius Caesar, although he wasn't a king, greatly expanded Rome and is a very imposing figure. The queen, although not of Rome, is Cleopatra. I chose her because she is famously known for being with Caesar and she was a queen in Egypt. The bishop represents a Roman soldier and uses the famous Roman helmet on top. The knight is the famous wolf of Rome, a famous folktale of how the empire of Rome started. The rook is redesigned to a famous Roman column.
