This deck is under construction. Anyone is welcome to contribute - check the talk page to find out more.

This deck is designed to be similar to Chess Plus Plus. It is designed so players can have a different strategy and army. All cards should be black (000000) to be chess-like. I do not intend to make all the cards exactly the same as Chess Plus Plus.

Special Rules

0-The rules of Chess apply except when otherwise stated

1-Cards take priority over the rules

2-There is no "check" if you have more than one king

3-Stalemate counts as a win for the stalemating player

4-The Things in play apply only to their owners

5-You cannot have more than one "Move Changing" Thing for each type of piece you control, and when you play a new one you must forfeit the older one.

6-"Pieces" now refers to Pawns and Kings in addition to Queens, Knights, Rooks, and Bishops

7-Moving a piece is an Action
