Kings Last Stand (Chess Game)

King's Last Stand Game Rules

2-6 players (plus referee unless replace by AI)
ALL AGES

<<Setting Up>>
- There must be a referee, unless replaced by an AI.
- You will use two standard chess boards.
- The two opposing boards will be seperated by a barrier so that each opposing team cannot see the others
  board.
- There are only 4 usable pieces in the game; Rook, Knight, Bishop, and last but not least the King.
- The King will be placed on the same spot on both boards decided by the referee at the beginning of the game.
- After the referee has placed the king the opposing teams will pick their pieces and place them on the board.
- The pieces can only be placed on the last row on the furthest side relative to the teams positions.(i/e)
  the row where the king and queen normally go when you set up a regular chess game.
- The pieces can be placed anywhere on this row.


<<Rules of Engagement>>
- The King starts out with 15 Hitpoints.
- The object of the game is to attack the King until all its Hitpoints are diminished.
- All pieces move as if they would when playing chess.
- Each piece has a damage of 1 when attacking.
- When a piece is in the position to attack that piece is automatically attacking. Otherwise it is defending.
- To attack a pieces range must come into contact with the King.
- To defend a pieces range can be anywhere but within range of attacking the King.
- You cannot attack and defend at the same time.
- When two pieces on opposing teams come into contact when both are defending, they cancel each other out and
  both survive.
- Whenever a piece is destroyed or the King is attacked, the referee will call out with what pieces the kill
  or points were scored with, and what piece was killed.
- If team A is attacking and team B's defender succesfully comes within range of team A's attacker, team A's
  attacker dies.
- The defending team replenishes health on the King via these values dependent on the fallen enemy piece:
  Knight=5, Rook=2, Bishop=3.
- Only an attacking piece can be killed.
- If you line up more than one attacking piece(i/e with a rook) when defending you can kill only the first
  piece in the line of attackers.
- You cannot attack or defend through the King.
- After you have attacked with a piece, you must defend the next turn.
- You can defend with a single piece as many times as you want, but never in the same position.
- You can never attack or defend from the same position. You must move every turn.
- You can magnify your damage through combos: If you and a teammate wish to attack with two like pieces
- The damage is the same plus 1.i/e. two rooks attacking the king = 3 pts.

<<Referee>>
The job of the referee is to:
- Place the King.
- At the end of each round tally up the hitpoints lost on the King.
- Determine which pieces have succesfully been killed, and replenish life to the King accordingly.
- Keep Score.
- Announce at the end of the turn which pieces have fallen, and by which piece they were destroyed.
