The PawnPals cast

Each friend shows you one idea by how they act. Meet them all and see how the ideas fit together.

  1. Poppy Pawn — a tiny brave pawn who marches straight ahead one step (two on the first) and taps the corner to capture; never moves backward
  2. Rooky Rook — a friendly walking tower who strolls in straight lines (up, down, side to side), never corners
  3. Bo & Bay Bishops — twin bishop-kids each gliding on diagonals of ONE colour (Bo the dark squares, Bay the light squares)
  4. Hoppy Knight — a little pony who hops two-then-one in an L and is the only piece that jumps right over others
  5. Queen Quill Queen — a gentle, powerful queen who glides any direction (straight or diagonal), near or far
  6. King Cozy King — a sleepy, gentle king who takes one slow step any direction; the piece everyone keeps safe (checkmate = trapped-and-safe, never captured)
