Tickets
This event is past the point where ticket sales are permitted.Fantasy Chess uses standard chess board and standard chess pieces and movements.
What makes this a variant is that you can co-occupy squares with up to three of your own color. Thus you can move your back row through your front row. When attacking, instead of just taking the enemy piece, you fight for the square, using dice and a statistic sheet. Each piece has Hit Points, Dexterity and some pieces have armor. Some pieces can be killed in one blow. However, those that don't die stay in the combat square for the next turn, ready to fight again.
This is an open demo, come and go as you please. I demonstrate to each person regardless of age, and if possible, I have two novices play each other.
Note: I use 15mm or 25mm miniature wargaming pieces for the chess pieces.
If you are curious about what that looks like, come by the table on your way your other games.
