QT Chess

[starmy63]

I know this is silly, but I'm going to share it anyway. During a game night recently, my 4 year old pulled out the chess set and asked me to play with her. I gave her some very basic, flexible rules and started. As the game progressed and she got bored, the rules began to change until we were playing a version where pawns would pull incredible athletic stunts and leap wildly across the board to tackle offending parties who had dared to capture the Queen. I kept getting the mental image of the battle at the end of QT, with Eddisian soldiers falling to the ground to swipe knees while others leapt dramatically over their backs to mow down the next line.

This got me thinking that an Eddisian (or Attolian, maybe Sounisian) inspired version of Chess has a lot of potential for much awesomeness. It was fun to spend some time considering what those moves and rules might be like. It also got me wondering what types of games each country might have played during downtime. I know you can extrapolate from actual historical games (had some fun learning about Roman Ludas Latrunculorum and could see where Eugenides' off-screen maneuvering during KoA and TaT could be considered the "drop phase"), but it was still fun to indulge my whimsy for a while imagining options.

In case anyone else has an overactive whimsy or likes historical games, this is one site I found that explained Latrunculi concisely. http://www.di.fc.ul.pt/~jpn/gv/latrunculi.htm

Also, I really want this chess set now. https://www.chessusa.com/product/2J-012.html?_vsrefdom=adwords&gclid=Cj0KCQiA_5_QBRC9ARIsADVww16lLlfxaER9fJk8wKpP2d9DlqscEnFhnQXM2maNXY0lVZPS_vB8kJwaApELEALw_wcB

This is fascinating, and I love the idea of a Queen's Thief inspired chess set!

Since chess is all about capturing your opponent's queen, Eugenides would most definitely be a master player. But, as in real life, he'd probably cheat!

Haha - I'm now adding a boat to my list of potential pieces, just so it can have the potential opportunity to capture the opponent's queen. Cheating would be a built in part of the rules, a la Munchkin.
