Politics chess
A board game of chess with modifications to fit real world politics | |
The pieces get actual identity, and can change sides. Each piece
or group of pieces is played by a single player. You have to play by
the rules until you don't. But then you have to suffer the
consequences.
There's still only two colors, but you never know what was agreed
on behind the scenes.

Needs a little more time in the oven [-] |

You would also need "non-playing" players, shilling out coin
(sorry, "making donations"...) for the result THEY want. |
|

Have we done paying chess? |
|

Yeah, one player should be able to convince a large group of pawns to advance against their own interest. |
|

You could move your queen three squares and put the opposing king into check, but it will cost you £50 per square. Your opponent might respond by blocking, or might take your knight (will cost you £200) or one of your pawns (will cost you £100). Or you could play safe and move a pawn, just to save money and buy time... |

If too many pawns die too quickly there's possibility
of a revolution occuring. |
|
| |
Ooh, that's a nice twist. 2 factions become 3; pawns dethrone
their own rulers (say, king, queen, bishops?), get "promoted"
(1 designated "king"), all the while the other side is trying to
attack everyone! |

So both black and white pawns would unite to overthrow the tyranny of the noble pieces? Execute the kings and queens (finishing the "game" but that is ignored) and forcibly demote the other pieces to also be pawns. But there would be a split every other turn, and purges. In the end there would be King Prawns and Tiger Prawns who get the most mayo, while the other prawns would land on hotels in Old Kent Road, which cost more than their salary from passing "go" |

About 40 years ago there was a strip cartoon in which a
small, bossy girl was "teaching" chess to her hapless friend;
"These are prawns and brooks and things over here ..."
{sweeps pieces off the board} "... and I've won!" |

What does it cost the other player when your pawn, or pawns, make it to the back row? |
