Basically a chess variant with a devastating fight, each of the kingdoms tries to be the last one standing, really creative at adding a prince and allowing it to promote so you have the second chance to not be eliminated out the game.
Letting you control the pieces of an opponent you defeat also encourages attacking over waiting and letting your opponents weaken each other, which is one of the main problems with 3+-player chess.
I like how much risk/reward there is in this version. Having the prince become a 2nd queen sounds really powerful and can lead to some strong aggressive plays, but if you're too aggressive and the king gets captured you might be in a poor position. Same with taking peices from an elimination. That means aggressive plays that get eliminations early is good because it gets you a numbers advantage, but it also opens you up to attacks. Lots of strategy, but the game disincentivizes defensive plays by giving more peices out, so once someone's eliminated the game should probably be close to the halfway point atleast. I may have to look at adding this to my collection, it's simple to pick up, but different enough from chess that even a 2 player game will feel unique.
@@CheezMaster24 essentially if a pawn does its double step move, and avoids a would be capture from another pawn by doing so, it can capture on to the skipped square and still take the pawn that moved.
This variant looks well-thought out, balanced and fun! Someone should publish this again, we haven't had another edition for over 30 years. HPH Development probably doesn't still make games, but maybe another company could buy the rights?
@@doomse150 unfortunately not, but there are 3 payer variants, and not the circle one, the hexagon one, that one is the better one. I, personally, do not have it.
Your King To Be: * sets up for a move to take the King deep into enemy territory * Your King: * gets captured * Your King To Be, now King: "Guess I'll die."
Awesome that you can control your defeated opponents pieces as it they were your own. Would be nice if it happened more often in other variants. Alternatively, allowing the defeated players to continue moving their pieces to get points would be interesting.
- Adds The Prince which starts out a King that can be captured and fan move 2 spaces Diagonally or Forward/Backward But Promote and Basically become a Queen - can be played with 2,3 AND 4 Player - Pawns can move forward and Diagonally one square Regardless of it capturing a piece or not but cannot promote to a Queen (still can promote to Rook, Bishop or Knight) Truly the best version of Chess
The only rule that makes no sense: "Orange must be on the board so it can go first" Just play any 2 colours that are on opposite sides.. it doesn't matter which side starts :|
This is different. My middle school science teacher had a 4-player chess game, but it was regular traditional chess. I think you could only move towards the player directly across from you.
@@LoveKirbythecutepinkball nah, the elephant is forced to move 2 step diagonal, and it can't cross the river, that mean an elephant can only move around 4 locations, also, it can't move if there is any piece blocks it's way. The prince piece more like a nerfed queen with only 2 squares range and become a queen after promoted, before the king is captured.

"En passant is allowed"
Already the best variant.
En passant is always allowed
What is an "En passant"
@@CheezMaster24 do you play chess or no if not watch the video he showed us
@@Therealdragoxx I have played chess, just the Noobie Version with No "En passant" Or "Castle ing"

Balanced for 2 and 4 players, probably not for 3. But there really isn't much one can do about that.
@@doomse150 unfortunately not, but there are 3 payer variants, and not the circle one, the hexagon one, that one is the better one. I, personally, do not have it.
@@kraglynn i think the hexagon one is better because it doesnt add much extra rules like the circle one
IMO I do not recommend to play 3 players on most of 4-players chess games.
@@adult11252 yeah kinda makes sense
Adding thrones and princes makes it pretty realistic. If only you can make generals or something thay commands pawns, it would be perfect variant
What do you think the player is?
How would that work tho?
@@mihailmilev9909 sovereign chess comes to my mind. it also was covered by this channel.
Your King To Be: * sets up for a move to take the King deep into enemy territory *
Your King: * gets captured *
Your King To Be, now King: "Guess I'll die."
Stræteji
The best part is that the kings have names (king Solomon, Cleopatra...)
Gengis khan
King Richard
How did Gengis Khan end up in chess tho?
Neat. My only complaint is "King to be" is a horrible name. "Heir Apparent" was right there!
What about "Crowned Prince"?
@@morganansell4526nope 1:03
I like the prince idea.
This sounds incredibly fun, not going to lie. The introduction of the Prince is interesting. It feels a bit like Chess meets Crusader Kings 2.
I wish someone would make gameplay videos of all these variants :(
Samet the Turk occasionally uploads VODs playing chess variants if you wanna check him out

Yeah LOL I was surprised by that rule.
It's kinda like the white start rule in regular chess
Interesting game! Thanks for sharing :)
So basically: A chess battle royale.
This is awesome! Honestly, I kinda wonder why this is not a popular chess variant.
2:27 Unlike 3 Player Chess (Circular), this rule is too overpowered.
This is different. My middle school science teacher had a 4-player chess game, but it was regular traditional chess. I think you could only move towards the player directly across from you.
If the Prince is captured before the King, is there any way to reintroduce him to the board?
"You see, when a king and a queen love each other very much..."
@@oenrn "then a prince or a princess is born."
@@oenrn infinite princes
Cool variant, but CROWN PRINCE, it was RIGHT THERE!
This game honestly sounds amazing, and I can only find one video on it (being this). I cannot find it on Amazon, and I am really bummed.
I to
Finally, the only chess variant where you can FORK KINGS
5D Chess with Multiversus Time Travel
Chess DLC looks lit!
Make a video on the la casa de papel / money heist card game
Pawn can move like a Chinese pawn or from xiangqi but capture other opponent’s piece diagonally
The prince is a new piece. But if he moves 2 diagonal. This is the elephant move from xiangqi
@@LoveKirbythecutepinkball nah, the elephant is forced to move 2 step diagonal, and it can't cross the river, that mean an elephant can only move around 4 locations, also, it can't move if there is any piece blocks it's way.

Wait it cant promote to a queen or a prince? 2:07
It seems like it cuz once the prince gets the crown then it’s essentially a second queen
The Queen?
Now that's more like Ancient Europe!
Is en passant allowed for any player until the person who made the two-step move has another turn?
Yes
you're very very amazing TRIPLE S GAMES
This is actually well balanced. No more “Queens” in game.
Is it 'Quadular' or 'Quadular chess' ??

It's kinda hilarious to me that all of these weird chess variants always keep en passant, as if it's a vital and core element of chess.

That is after all the official name for a king to be and you are literally put a crown on the Prince.
