===Drawing and | ===Winning=== | ||
You win by taking the opponent's king. You aren't required to announce check, or move out of check. A player may have more than one king, in which case they don't lose if one is taken. | |||
===Running Out of Deck=== | |||
If the draw pile runs out, the discard pile is immediately shuffled and becomes the draw pile. | |||
===Drawing and Discarding=== | |||
During their turn, a player may discard any number of cards from their hand, then draw the same number. This takes an entire move - they can't play a Thing or Event in that turn. | |||
A player who starts their turn with no cards draws 5 cards instead of 1. | |||

Players | 2 |
This is an untested deck. Its cards are complete, but it hasn't yet been tested. | |
To play Dvorak: Draw five cards each and leave the rest as a draw pile. On your turn, draw a card from the draw pile and play one Thing and/or one Action. (See the full rules.) | |
Print this deck | |
This deck is locked. Further cards should not be added - leave feedback on the talk page. |
Another combination of Dvorak and chess.
Special Rules
Special equipment
This game needs a chess set (with some spare pieces), sets of counters which can be differentiated (for example coins of different values, or the armies from a 'Risk' set), and one dice or coin.
Winning
You win by taking the opponent's king. You aren't required to announce check, or move out of check. A player may have more than one king, in which case they don't lose if one is taken.
Running Out of Deck
If the draw pile runs out, the discard pile is immediately shuffled and becomes the draw pile.
Drawing and Discarding
During their turn, a player may discard any number of cards from their hand, then draw the same number. This takes an entire move - they can't play a Thing or Event in that turn.
A player who starts their turn with no cards draws 5 cards instead of 1.
Changing pieces moves
Some cards alter the move of a given type of piece (any reference to a 'piece' includes pawns). These cards are various shades of blue, depending on which type of piece they alter. If a card like this is played, any card of exactly the same shade (ie which refers to the same piece) is discarded at the same time. Each of these cards refers to pieces from both sides. Playing a card of this type does not entitle a player to move a piece. Some cards return a particular type of piece to its standard chess move; you need not keep 'standard move' cards on the table if you don't want to.
Queening
Sometimes pawns may not queen when they reach the 8th rank. If a pawn in this situation is on the 8th rank, and then the moves of pawns are changed such that pawns do queen, the pawn queens at the start of the relevant player's turn. As in standard chess, 'queening' does not refer only to a pawn becoming a queen; a pawn may be promoted to any piece other than a pawn or king.
Terrain
The green cards allow a player to change the treatment of one square. Players should place a counter of a given type on the square they choose, and should place a counter of the same type against the card, to act as a key. Terrain cards may not be placed on squares with a piece currently in them. They may be placed on squares with a terrain counter already on them, in which case this terrain counter is replaced. Some cards refer to 'unoccupied' squares. This refers entirely to whether a piece is there. A square with a terrain counter may still be 'unoccupied'
Rank
Some cards refer to pieces increasing or decreasing in rank. The pieces are considered to be ranked as follows - pawn, knight, bishop, rook, queen, king. Thus a knight who lost one rank would become a pawn, a pawn who lost one rank would be removed from the board. You may not play a card in such a way as to promote a king.
Numbers of pieces
As a result of pieces increasing or decreasing in rank, there may be a number of pieces on the board which would be impossible in normal chess, for example three bishops or two kings. This is legal.
