Chipco Chess takes the basic movement rules of chess and adds wargame-style combat rules.
Outcomes are no longer certain because of the use of a d10. Chipco Chess is not solve-able, in the sense of standard chess, since thinking ahead is not possible. Players of all abilities have a more equal chance of winning the game.
Chipco Chess is played using a standard board with either chess pieces or wargame bases.
Variants are included that tailor the game to certain periods:
- Ancient/Fantasy
- Crusades/Medieval
- Samurai
- American Civil War
Other variants can be developed by players for their own enjoyment. |
