βοΈ Wizard's Chess
Wizard's Chess is the magical version of chess.
π² How It Works
- Pieces are alive
- Move on their own when commanded
- Violently destroy captured pieces
- Same rules as Muggle chess
π₯ Violence
When a piece is taken, the capturing piece literally smashes it to bits. Pieces can be quite brutal.
