Card Chess
Draw a card, make that many moves. Capture the king to win!How to play
- On your turn, draw a card from the deck. You don't choose: whatever comes up, happens.
- A number card (1-4) gives you that many moves in a row: a 3 means three chess moves, with any of your pieces. You may end your turn early.
- Skip: your opponent loses their turn and you draw another card.
- Undo: all of your opponent's moves from their last turn are taken back, captured pieces included.
- Pass: bad luck, your turn passes.
- There is no check or checkmate: capture the king to win.
