Why not just add pieces. Thimble, dog, horse, iron, car, wheelbarrow, top hat, and the other one= TRADITION

The one I forgot was a shoe. No battleship in the game I played as a kid.

No doubt there's a whole page about this on wiki.

All I recall from playing as a child is the top hat, battleship, shoe and the iron.

my son asked Santa for a Star Wars chess set; now I have fun playing the Empire, pawns are TIE fighters, the only oddity is the Queen is Darth Vader  :lol:
