I am please to announce another addition to the ever-growing Super Duper
Games family. This is another Icehouse game called Martian Chess. It
is a chess-like strategy game in which location, rather than piece
color, determines which pieces you may move. Like Chess, each type of
piece has its own way of moving, and you capture by moving onto an
opponent's square; but unlike Chess, you can only move pieces sitting in
your own quadrant, and only attack those in other quadrants which may
include your own former pieces. The game ends when someone runs out of
pieces, and the winner is the player who captured the most points. I
have also added Jacob Davenport's variant suggestion and called it 'Of
Knights and Kings.' In it, Pawns move like chess Kings and Drones move
like chess Knights. As always, feedback and bug reports are warmly
welcomed. Oh, and an AI opponent is also available for 2-player play
only. Enjoy!
Good Gaming!
