It's the weakest piece in the game. The Queen and King can also move along 3-D diagonals. The Queen can move like a Rook, Bishop, or Unicorn. And a King moves similar- ly, but limited to one cell in any direction. Placed in the middle of the cube, on Cc3, a King can move to 26 cells, a Queen 52, Rook 12, Bishop 24, and Unicorn 16.
