Check out Atomic Chess, our featured variant for November, 2024.

This page is written by the game's inventor, Bob Greenwade.

Monster Mash

It's Halloween, and the monsters are out in full force. And some of them don't get along.

Setup

Because this is a spooky kind of game, it's played on a 13x13 board.

Pieces

Some of the pieces are renamed to make them more fitting to the theme. In those cases, whether the in-game name is my own invention or one that others have used, I give the more familiar name as well.

Mummy (Pharaoh):

Terror (Amazon):

Grim Reaper (Reaper):

Raven:

Dragon (Dragon King):

Cerberus:

Cobra:

Hangman:

Dire Wolf (Sabertooth):

Jackal:

Spider:

Vulture:

Ghost:

Two-Headed Man (Berolina Pawn):

Rules

For the most part, other than the pieces and setup, the rules of orthodox chess are followed.
