Rule 05 - What's it specifically mean?

[Minimalist Memes]

"Pawns are actually a metaphor for the invisible worker trolls."
Does this mean that the troll is allowed to jump any pawns he pleases? Or is it something else?

[Tamer]

It doesn't mean anything to my knowledge, kind of the epilogue rule.

There's a few rules like this. The one you pointed out about the pawn. The picture of the horse. And then there's the epilogue as Tamer pointed out.

[Chef's Kiss]

It means they ought to seize the means of production.

[adrian]

It's flavor text to foreshadow the ascension ending/achievement

Is about how the working class is living opresseed, forced to serve as sacrifice for their lords, the knights, the king, the queen, they're worthless at the eyes of the king, just a tool to advance in the battlefield and be the first ones to die, nobody care about the pawns in a chess game... That's about, not only here, but in the original chess too!

Honestly pawns are more powerful in this version than they are in normal chess. Being able to move backwards, sideways without attacking, can attack forward... They are great at both defending other pieces (even other pawns) as well as pressuring the opponent. They don't need to be able to transform into another piece anymore because they're already good enough.

Though still not nearly as good as the bishop buff. But it's okay for him to be overpowered, he worked hard for it.
