Dark Chess
Control
The tiny creature darts through shadowed corridors, claws clicking against cold stone as whiskers twitch—every scent, every sound a potential threat or opportunity. Survival is instinct, a dance of hunger and fear. Cheese crumbs vanish into secret burrows, traps avoided by hair's-breadth leaps. The world looms vast, hostile, a kingdom of giants and lurking claws. Yet still it persists, a flicker of life in the endless maze, driven by the pulse of ancient rhythms: find, flee, feast, survive.
Description
This innovative chess variant utilizes traditional Chinese chess pieces but operates under a dramatically different ruleset. The core mechanic revolves around hierarchical dominance: only pieces of higher rank can capture those of lower rank. Victory is achieved by strategically maneuvering your forces to eliminate opponents' pieces while protecting your own. Should all your remaining units be captured or immobilized with no legal moves available, the game concludes in defeat. Success demands careful positioning, foresight, and mastery of the intricate power dynamics between piece ranks.
