The Ultimate Great Battle
Situation
Situation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.Situation
Once upon a time, in a castle far, far away, lived a queen. This queen's castle was located on one side of a great field. However, the king's castle was located on the other side. The queen didn't like the king, so she took her 2 horses and her army and attacked. There was a huge, epic, and bloody battle on the great field in which all the king's men were defeated and the king himself was captured. However, at the end of the battle, the killers and the killed, the victors and the victims, all laid down, side by side, in one big coffin.

Although I got it right away, I really like this one. It immediately reminded me of the Italian Proverb, "At the end of the game, the king and the pawn go back in the same box."
Very nice!
Very nice!
The ''Coffin'' part could be pretty tricky, but I really liked it.
I also solved it quickly but enjoyed it, and I like NettieLou's Italian quote! Thanks!
I totally agree with BeanSC.
Sorry but I'm fed up with Chess being the answer to anything involving a King and Queen!
Sorry, too obvious!
Awesome : D
Unfortunately, the downfall of this teaser is that both sides have a King and a Queen. Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I guess this is why I don't like riddles that rely on figurative interpretations...
Easy but I liked it. More like an old riddle perhaps? Could be a little better written e.g. it suggests there is just one King and one Queen. This could easily be tidied up.
The second downfall is that you can't capture a king.
