Set the board up like traditional chess. The goal is to checkmate the opponents king.
The standard rules of chess apply, with the following changes:
- Any two pieces of the same colour (except the king) can be merged (joined).
- Merged pieces can move as either of their joined pieces.
- Merged pieces can split into their original pieces.
- If a merged piece is captured then both pieces are lost.
- If a merged piece containing a pawn makes it to the other end of the board, the merged piece is promoted to a queen.
- There can be up to three queens of the same colour on the board at any one time.
Note: The merging or splitting of a piece is considered a move, and pieces must always move according to their abilities.
