📋 About This Mod

Hello and welcome! If you are familiar with four player chess variants, you might know that the most common variant uses an 8x8 board with 8x3 "wings" to accomodate each army. In contrast, this implementation uses 8x2 wings, which is the setup that I personally prefer. Thanks to the reduced size of the overall board (compared to the 8x3 setup), the Knights have more range, and interactions between the pieces occur sooner. This implementation also has snap points on each space of the board for your convenience :) Core rules Note: These rules assume you already know how to play standard chess. You can play either free-for-all (everyone vs everyone), or in teams of 2 vs 2. You'll find specific rules for these game modes after the following core rules. Players decide, however they want, who goes first. Each player makes one move on their turn, except when executing special moves like castling or a pawn swap (which I mention later). Turn order goes clockwise or anti-clockwise - whichever you prefer. Regicide: The objective of the game is to actually capture the kings of your opponents - not just checkmate them. Thus, it's possible to move a king into check, or not move a king out of check. Checkmate only applies once there are only two opponents left in the game. All pieces move like in classic chess, but pawns can have an initial move of 1, 2 or 3 squares forward. Pawns CAN also be captured en passant. Pawns promote when reaching their respective opposite edge of the board, where they can no longer move forward. Castling king side or queen side IS allowed, and kings can castle even when passing through threatened squares. In this particular board, four intersections have a big black circle (like the intersection between the squares C2 and B3). No piece can move diagonally nor capture diagonally through those intersections. Thanks to that, the players' pawns in front of their rooks cannot capture enemy pawns at the beginning of the game. * Optional: To ma
