Searching for the Perfect Plays

by Paracompact
As an acolyte to an arcane strategy game, Meteorite learns lessons from her lifelong idol—both on and off the gameboard.

Enter Arcelot: A magical strategy board game that every unicorn in Equestria knows the rules to, but few are called upon to master. An unassuming filly by the name of Meteorite is determined to enter the rarefied world of the professional players at all costs—the only world, in her mind, that she belongs.

After winning a sweepstakes to hang out with a lifelong idol of hers during a high-profile tournament, Meteorite is closer to this world than she ever has been. Truly, it is everything she ever dreamed of... so why does it still not feel right for her?


Inspired by coming-of-age stories such as Hikaru no Go, and March Comes In Like a Lion.
