Bamerian
Bamerian is a sport based around Strategically moving your players around a large field. It is similar in nature to chess, that each player wears a certain outfit with a color matching their team’s colors and a set movement for each player's outfit. The difference between Bamerian and Chess, is that this is a full contact sport and more complicated 'fights'.
Instead of just 'taking' a piece, two pieces entering the same square will take on a turn based style fight where, to win the fight and the square, each piece uses a 'Mana Shell' and use Wooden weapons to attack. The game doesn't stop during these fights and other squares can be taken by players during their movement phase. Some squares sometimes contain 'terrain problems'. This is another difference from Chess, Terrain problems are 'mountains', 'lakes', 'rivers', 'mud' and 'open plains' that have different effects on players moving into their area. Some spaces also have 'weather effects'.
Each Team gets 'Deployment points' that allow a team to have a varied amount of players on the field. It also brings up Terrain problems again, certain 'Pieces' can't be placed on certain terrain, or if they can be placed there, it could cost more deployment points, and this often leads to bonuses to pieces stats.

The Rules
Both teams begin the game with 100 Deployment Points to divide how they please amongst their Units to build an army. Since the Home team has the Advantage of Field(They know their teams map), the Visiting team can select either "20 extra Deployment points" or 5 Free turns.
Once the board is set up, the Visiting team always gets the first turn. The General Issues orders using a Keyboard on his/her wrist to issue commands seen on small monitors each player wears in a pair of sun-glasses. This allows all orders to be secretive on what will occur. During the movements, any players of opposing teams entering the same space(In cases of Crossbowmen, Walls and Sorcerer's range) a battle occurs.
During a battle at melee(Same square) both units take single swings and deal damage based on the player’s stats and the addition stats their path grants. If an Attacker has +30Atk and hits his opponent who has +25Def, the defending character takes 5 Damage. However if the same attacker has +30Atk and the Opponent has +35Def, The Attacker takes 5 Damage from a 'counter attack'.
The object of this battle is to capture the Enemy General. To capture the enemy General, you merely have to surround him. Just like chess, the General cannot move into 'check' but can be engaged in combat. If defeated in Combat, the winning teams General receives an extra +10 ATk, +10 DEF, and +100 Hit points for the second round. The entire board is a full 40' X 40' board with each square being 4' on all sides.
