And now for something completely different: have you ever played GEV on a chess board or checkerboard? It's a lot more portable than a big map, and it adds some complications of its own.
Each player sets up on the board as follows:
- | - | - | - | - | - | - | - |
- | - | - | - | - | - | - | - |
2 Inf | 2 Inf | 2 Inf | 2 Inf | 2 Inf | 2 Inf | 2 Inf | 2 Inf |
LT | MSL | GEV | SHVY | HVY | GEV | MSL | LT |
Play according to normal GEV rules, with the following exceptions:
Fight to the death.
Design notes
This nutty idea was inspired by my friend Kyle Laramore, because of our constant
re-definition of the basic rules of checkers, which we play while waiting for our
table at Cracker Barrel.
