Fist is a two-player abstract strategy game, in the same family as chess, tafl, and xiangqi. The game is described in detail in Alysa Wishingrad s upper middle-grade novel, The Verdigris Pawn. Fist is an asymmetric strategy game, meaning that each side has different pieces and goals. The King s forces are plentiful, but somewhat weak, while the Challenger s pieces are few, but clever. If the Challenger s pieces can learn to work together, they can overthrow the King. Between the two sides stands the Verdigris Pawn, a powerful piece that can be controlled by either player. —description from the publihser
