Good question, Nick, that all the interested in UC [a path in the jungle] will have to resolve together. Sure Jeremy, Joe, Vitya and many others have something to say.

My opinion is that not necessarily both kings have to be checkmated at the same time; if one is first checkmated, this would remain on the board like if it were frozen. But also is perfectly possible to introduce a rule that states that if two or three [in case that the Wuss come into the game] kings are in play, then they will have to be captured, not checkmated.

By the way, I think all the Wildest Kingdom Chess' animals [less perhaps the crocodile] may also be part of the UC's set of pieces. These animals (pieces) would come into the game with the ability of use its 'specials'. Then, it might be possible that 4 kings were in the game at the same time, if the lion also appear in the starting setup or it's dropped.
