Chess's wilder cousin
Rapid is 5×5 minishogi: six pieces each, games in minutes, easy to pick up.
Drops change everything
Captured pieces join your army. Drop them back on almost any square. Comebacks are always live.
No dead draws
Because pieces return to play, games almost always end in checkmate, not a fizzle.
Sacrifice to mate
Leave the bishop hanging. The king must take it, and walks into mate.
