Fantasy Chess is a blend of Traditional Chess and miniatures or role-playing game mechanics where you can co-occupy squares and use dice to determine capture outcomes.

Develop new strategies and alter old ones as you experience familiar chess from a whole new angle.

Traditional King, Queen, Bishop, Knight, Rook, Pawn pieces that move and check the same as traditional chess, but may move through their own ranks, carry pieces, fight for squares (with dice and statistic sheet) and MORE!

Basic Game

Start off with the basic game that teaches how to co-occupy squares (you can have up to three of your own pieces in square) and how to fight for the square (attack the enemy piece using two six sided die against your own dexterity. If you inflict damage, it lowers the enemy piece’s life points.) If several pieces are in a combat square, they all get an attack. It doesn’t resolve in one swing each, then combat is continued in the next person’s turn. This means that you can send in re-inforcements. Each piece class has different dexterity and hit points and some have armor.

Check is handled in traditional style of check and checkmate. But there are times when you can actually go head to head with the king in his square and check mate him.The advanced game includes 4 more rules:

• Withdrawal (escaping from a combat square)
• Healing (Bishops and Queens can heal damaged pieces)
• Forced Retreat (Queens can kick other pieces out of her square)
• Carrying (Knights can carry a pawn or a bishop and Rooks can carry anything except another rook or the king)

4 player games

Fantasy Chess has the capacity for 4 player games.
Bump two Fantasy Chess boards next to each other and play ally with your partner with full use of both boards as you try to checkmate your opponents.

Expanded into a 5+ player game by either bumping more boards together or having a Game Master who can run some home rule creature pieces as interference or aid to the two main players. Try putting two rows of squares as a forest between the two boards.
