this game is interesting way of using a chessboard, its not a chess variant, the rules are on the png.

the chits have dice in the middle , each turn the phasing player rolls a die , if it matches any chit on the board you can rotate it.

each chit has swords and shields on different edges , if a sword comes into contact with an enemy chit without a shield the chit is won.

the object is to capture the royals

Rule clarifications

The Game is Setup like Chess top and bottom two rows. The Crown pieces are the objective chits to capture.The Chits have 4 sides with either Sword Shield or Nothing, 1) if a Sword Edge Makes Contact with a Shild Nothing happens, play passes to the other side. 2) If a Sword Edge contact an Enemy Chit's Sword or Empty Edge , then the enemy piece is captured. 3) if a Shield contacts an enemy Shield , then both Chits rotate 90 Degrees. 4) you May Pass 5) movement is one square in any direction. 6) only north south east & west Edge's are resolved, and they are resolved in a clockwise directio , so more than one edge can capture.The strategy is quite complex, each piece has 4 differrent values and can do 4 things at the same time.

Have you experimented without the dice aspect? Also, have you considered other starting setups?

Also, the game could be a little slow moving at the beginning if all pieces can only move one space. What if some pieces could move more than one space on a turn?

I found without dice, one player could block the board with shields.

maybe if a sword hits a shield you can rotate it, it would make the game a skill game and takeout luck.

I think if you could find a way to remove the dice that would be ideal. I like my abstract games to be as luck free as possible.
