Martian Chess is a fast and easy-to-learn yet mind-bending Chess-style game: ownership of pieces is determined not by color, but by location on the gameboard.
Game Play
As in Chess, each type of piece has its own way of moving, and you capture by entering an opponent pieceâ_x0080__x0099_s square. However, you can move only the pieces sitting in your section of the board, and you can only attack pieces in another playerâ_x0080__x0099_s zone. Thus, a piece changes ownership after it attacks. The game ends when a player has no pieces left in their zone.
