Exchequer is a very nice game. If a player is upset or confused by its initial setup, they could always turn the field on its side and play from the lower...
Thanks for your input :-> One question though. Why do you prefer to replace the pawns with unicorns? Don't you think that the "normal" 3d pawn works on this ...

I often replace Pawns with Unicorns in games which do not have a specific homefield area. Sometimes giving these Unicorns the ability to promote when they...
Well said. I did not mean to disagree with the particular rules I refered to. I just wanted to lift up a possible problem with a too powerful 3d king, and get...

For those who are interested, I've posted a TXT file with the rules of the Chess Cubed 4x4x4 game. The implementation for the game can be found at the...
