Bomber Piece
One pawn can become the single Bomber carrier.
Starting on completed player move 6, Bomber Piece keeps retrying until exactly one eligible pawn on the affected side receives a public bomb. A normal capture death triggers one 3x3 Bomber explosion centered on the carrier's actual final square, and the explosion itself uses no-chain semantics and cannot trigger secondary mutator consequences. The countdown starts at 10 completed player moves, AI moves do not decrement it, and the blast is always a board-bounded 3x3 area centered on the carrier's actual final square.
Strategy notes
Turn the constraint
into a lever.
Plan around it
- Track the carrier, the retry window, and the countdown together.
- Use the 3x3 blast to pressure both kings without assuming a larger board effect.
Keep in mind
- The first selection attempt happens on completed player move 6.
- If no pawn is eligible yet, the mutator retries on the next completed player move.
