Troop Chess (Prototype)

It's chess, but...

  • Each piece in the main board has its own sub-army.
  • Attempting to take a piece in the main board will instead enter a subgame of chess with the sub-armies pitted against each other.
    • The attacker goes first.
    • If the attacker wins the subgame, the main board move goes through. If the defender wins, the attacking piece is destroyed and the turn passes. If the subgame is a draw, the turn passes with no main pieces destroyed.
    • A main piece that survives the subgame will begin future subgames missing any pieces lost in the current one (promoted pawns return to being pawns).
  • Destroy the enemy king via defeating its sub-army to win.
    • Because attacking the enemy king in the main board may not destroy it, moving or remaining in check in the main board is legal.

Some drawing conditions are not automatically enforced. Use the Draw button if you do not feel that you are getting anywhere in a subgame.
