the pawn is so iconic. you get like 8 of them and they're the first to fight on the front lines. and if you get them far enough, you can promote them into a better piece. gives me very natalie dormer in game of thrones. but the pain of losing the pawn in the tile right before the edge is very natalie dormer in the sept of baelor. anyways, no one can deny the cultural relevance of this piece.
