GAMMA CHESS
PREMISE:
This plays like a cross between chess and backgammon
SET UP:
Regular Chessboard and pieces plus two dice
OBJECT:
Move all your men off your opponents back row.
(for a shorter game, just the king)
PLAY:
Players take turns.
TURNS:
At the beginning of your turn roll the two dice and consult the table
below. This determines which pieces you can move.
1D6 Piece
1 Knight
2 Pawn
3 Rook
4 Bishop
5 King
6 Queen
Example: If you roll 1 on one die and 4 on the other you must move one of
your 8 pawns and one of your bishops. If you roll 1 and 2 you must move
either two of your pawns or one of your pawns twice. If you roll a piece
you no longer have, add one to your roll. If you have no queen go back to
one.
MOVES:
Pieces move as normal except that they can only go forward or sideways.
CAPTURING:
A piece can only capture if it is moving forward. The captured piece is
immediately put, by its owning player, in a square on its back row.
If no spaces are available, place it on the next available row.
MOVING OFF:
If you move one of your pieces onto your opponents back row remove it from
the game.
