Rook, Paper, Scissors! Play

Battle Royale: one chess piece, a big map

One piece, not an army. Pick a king, knight, rook, bishop or queen, then lock in an order every five seconds in the fog. You can woo another player into a duo, and you can betray them whenever it suits you.

How it plays

  1. One unit, one order. Every 5 seconds: tap a lit tile to move, or hold a unit to act. Sent is locked in.
  2. First come, first served. Two units into one tile: whoever locked in first keeps it. The other is out.
  3. Last one standing. The ground falls in from the edge. Grab crates, hide in bushes, survive.

The details

Fighters
Pick in the first two turns. King: 1 step, 4 hearts, punches for 2. Knight: jumps, 4. Rook: 3 straight, 4. Bishop: 3 diagonal, 4, sees further. Queen: 2 any way, 3.
Strikes and clashes
Moving onto a unit hits it for 2 (it must still be there). Moving into a tile somebody already moved into this turn knocks you out.
The ring
Fight (1), Push (into the sky is out), Guard (no hits this turn), Scout (+2 sight), Woo (woo back: a duo), Kiss (+1 heart each), Betray.
Crates
Heart +1, Shield soaks a hit, Power +1 damage. A unit knocked out leaves Power behind.
Pickups
Boots: next move 1 further. Smoke: hidden 2 turns. Trap: hold yourself to drop it, 2 damage. Eye: see 3 further. Bomb: 1 damage next to you.
Fog and bushes
You see only round your unit and your duo. A unit in a bush is seen only from next to it.
