Chess, but you replace your entire army with a royal shotgun.

>*The Black King has been dispossessed of everything...*
>*Everything except their royal shotgun.*

As allowed by the rules, we did a very minor fix of things that turned out to be broken, namely:
- Shells should no longer ever remain from one floor to the next
- Fixed Cavalry and Conclave's reinforcement event so that it can happen more than just once
