This thread is for ideas for themed Chess variants.
With Halloween just around the corner, I've been thinking of creating a
Halloween-themed variant.
Here are the pieces I have so far:
Witch - Moves as Queen, but can jump any number of pieces and cannot
capture. Can also turn adjacent pieces into Frogs (0,3 or 3,3 leapers) .
Ghost - Moves to any empty square on the board and immobilizes adjacent
pieces.
Frankenstein's Monster / Zombie - Moves as Wazir, but can be revived
after the captor leaves its square.
