Metamachy. Large game with a variety of regular fairy pieces.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

The term "royal" in this context specifically means the "capture/mate me to win" property. The term "prince" has been used both for pieces with the King-move but no such property (Tempête sur l'Échiquier comes to mind) and for pieces that serve as a backup royal (Chu Shogi, Tamerlane). Prince is a reasonable term for either, but the clarification is also reasonable.

The yellow boxes become unreadable in dark mode (remember the rule: specify both background and foreground, or specify neither).
