Extra information about Clue Chess that may or may not be relevant:

  • The board is 25x25, with special spaces for the Rooms and blacked-out spaces around the players' starting areas (except in front).
  • Similar to regular Clue(do), there can be anywhere from 2 to 8 players.
  • There will be only one of each weapon; they start neutral, in starting places on the board.
  • When a player captures a weapon piece, that player's King gains the abiltiies of that piece.
    • There will be no limit on how many weapons the King can carry (as of this moment, anyway).
    • I haven't fully decided yet what happens to the weapons when the King is captured. The King itself is returned to its starting square, and I'm inclined to do the same with the weapons, though I may decide on something else.
  • It may or may not be allowed to move the weapons as independent, "neutral" pieces. If it is, it'll be move-without-capture only.

Feedback on these rules wouldn't be entirely unwelcome, though for now I want to focus on selecting the eighth weapon.
