Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate (Ludum Dare #50)

♟♟♟
Chess, but you replace your entire army with a royal shotgun.
The Black King has been depossessed of everything...
Everything except their royal shotgun.
His wrath shall be his undoing, yet he cares not.
In his dark folly, bits of white pieces will fly.
♟♟♟
