<p>Did you know that I, too, had a dream involving a chess variant?</p> <p>It had multiple boards that you could teleport between, pawns that promote into royalty (where each pawn is designated as promoting into a different kind of royalty, like Tamerlane), and if your high priest enters your opponent's church then you gain the ability to control eclipses. Play is split into frames where teleportation becomes available for each piece after each one, and cards in your hand are replenished after each one. Pieces have three attributes being strength, defense, and intelligence. Other than pawns (see above) and royalty (not all of them actually have the "royal" status) and the church (the only piece that other pieces can enter), there are religious pieces (such as the high priest) and illithid larva (can promote to illithid but only between frames).</p> <p>Now that I am not sleeping, I am completely confused as to how the game works. I don't know what eclipses are supposed to do or anything like that either.</p>
