Sorry, King!
This game started as a joke but soon I realised its potential.
At first, I tried to mix Monopoly with Chess and I didn't like it. Then I remembered a funny game I used to play as a child. This game is a variation of the Sorry game improved by a German inventor who called it: "Man, don't get mad!" This game quickly became very popular in Europe and around the world under various names such as: "Man, don't get angry!", "Sorry to bother you!", "Sorry, my brother!" etc.
People might remember that this game was packed together with the game of Chess, advertised as "bringing adulthood and childhood together!".
Once I decided on the setup, the hardest thing was to find a proper name.
Setup
The initial setup looks like this.
Two parallel games are played simultaneously, a game of Chess, and a variation of Sorry, also known as "Man, don't get mad!"
Pieces
Each player has a complete set of Chess pieces and seven checkers, or pegs. The chess pieces follow the standard setup, while the checker pieces are placed on a red square and enter the game one at a time.
Rules
Two games are played simultaneously and they influence one another.
