168. Candlestick. Since it's been so long since my last Clue-inspired pieces, I might as well do two in a row.
A problem I had with the remaining three classic weapons -- the candlestick, the lead pipe, and the wrench -- is that, in the Clue context, they're all bashing weapons, and I'm wanting distinctive moves for the three, while keeping their relative power about equal. I wasn't sure how to do that, though; this is my best guess for this piece.
Rather than going with the bashing, I thought to base the Candlestick on the candle's flame (giving it an alternate name of Arsonist). It moves up to two spaces in any direction, but captures only by passing "through" its target. (mK2cafmK)
Though the piece model is nearly identical to the Candlestick Maker that I featured back in October (the main difference being the latter's noticeably larger size), it's a distinctive and separate piece.
