Four player chess is a game I played growing up. I would love to relive the fun of playing "chess doubles" from 18 years ago and so this project was born.
- Two people play on a board as in normal chess.
- There are two teams consisting of two players.
- Each team has a one person playing as black and one person playing as white.
- When a player takes an enemy piece they give it to their teammate who can then place it on the board as a move.
- Pieces cannot be placed on the last two lines or such that they put the other player in check or mate.
- A timer can be introduced limiting the time a player has to make a move. If a move is not made within the time limit, then the other player may take a piece off the board from their opponent.
- I hope to add battle royale elements and abilities / points to increase the possibility space (and fun).
