Rolling Chess. A game played with dice, where movement causes rolling and rolling changes piece identity. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Interesting! This will be somewhat unusual in the "Dice" category for not also being non-deterministic.

I wonder about the enforcement of orientation after the move. It enforces that a piece moving from one square in a particular direction will always turn into the same piece (OK, knight choice aside); is that convenience worth the additional rule? Maybe.

I doubt the setup diagram would be helpful, since the tops of the dice will just be the standard layout. But a few movement examples would be nice.
