New game - on Grass



The new game on grass deviates from the rules of conventional chess in the following ways:-

There are 3 players instead of 2
Player 1- Black, higher pieces*
Player 2- White, higher pieces*
Player 3- all pawns

The aims of the game vary for each player:
Players 1 and 2 aim to checkmate each others' kings as in conventional chess.
Player 3 aims to prevent any pieces being taken, for 10 moves until the board is fully overgrown (see below).

How the game is played
- Moves alternate between black and white as with conventional chess
- At each move a coin is flipped to decide whether a higher piece* or a pawn of that colour should move.
After a preliminary period of 4 moves, every time a move is accomplished in which no piece is taken, the board environment is progressively overgrown with grass (in this example).
Sketch for the changing environment of the board

When the pawns win
At this point the player is invited to envision world peace by uploading their own images and/or texts or links to websites that generate and promote peace.

I still need to produce a full schematic for this- and look at how instructions are written.

*king, queen, bishops, knights, castles
