How to play Shuuro

Imagine capturing the king and winning in very first move, taking 10 seconds while you took 10 minutes to set up the board

[@oenwilson2486]

I love how in every chess variant the knight is always the most op and can break some mechanics like jumping on or past pillars in this variant in particular

[@ActionCow69]

Honestly it needs an edge if you're going to make the board this much bigger.

[@MatthewCampbell765]

I mean it's not really OP. It's just that the Knight is the designated "flying" or "jumping" piece. The point of it is to be able to hop over stuff.

[@nicehandsomefruit]

If it didn't have this ability, it would be significantly weaker than the bishop due to the larger board size

[@thewizardslime6764]

Its not really OP, and more like "screw the map"

[@L1M.L4M]

I really like the idea of RNG map generation in Chess

[@dogekid7]

I think a version of the game is if the same pillar is rolled twice, the pillars should be stacked and knights can’t jump over,on or be placed on the pillars Edit: OMG I DID NOT EXPECT THIS TO GET THIS MANY LIKE TYY

[@anthonycannet1305]

This is very similar to a chess variant I have called LOKA, which is a 4 player 2v2 chess game. Each team gets time before the game to strategize, but after that there's no strategic communication between players. Then, each player drafts their army in a similar way to this game but with slightly different point values. Players on the same team sit across from each other, then each player pulls a tile from the bag which is this game's version of the pillars. Each tile does something different and are placed the same way. The board is a 12x12 grid with a 3x3 square removed from each corner, so each player has a "personal" 6x3 area to deploy their army. Rolling the d6 twice to determine the location of the tiles with 4 tiles being placed (except if the portal tile is drawn in which case the opponent who is farthest from it also places the other portal tile for 5 total tiles instead of 4). After that, players take turns placing their pieces within their personal area. Starting with the King then placing in descending point order (a little more strict than Shuuro), and you can't place your opponent in check before the game starts. Then players take turns playing chess normally, with a few differences. 1) No castling or en passant. 2) If a player's king is captured, their pieces are removed from the board but a team only wins if both enemy kings are captured. 3) The king cannot be put in check or checkmate, it must be captured, and 4) Capturing a piece works differently. When you would capture a piece, there are a few steps involved. The main concept is that both players roll a die, whoever rolls lowest loses the piece in question. The die used is determined by 4 conditions: 1) the attacker gets a +1 bonus for attacking. 2) Each player gets +1 bonus for each piece their team controls that *could* move to the defending space. (For example if my queen and my teammate's knight could both capture the enemy's pawn, I get a +1 bonus for trying to capture with my queen thanks to my teammate having a supporting knight, likewise the defending team has a bishop that's defending the pawn and gets a +1 bonus from that support). 3) Whichever piece has the higher point cost gets a +1 bonus (So queens as the most expensive get a +1 bonus against any other non-queen piece). And 4) The defender gets a +1 bonus if they are on one of the terrain tiles (some tiles may give an additional bonus). After determining the bonuses for both players they use a die based on their bonuses. starting with d4 for no bonus, d6 for +1, d8 for +2, d12 for +3, d20 for 4, and with +5 or higher the player rolls a d20 but may choose to reroll once and use the new result even if it's lower (The d10 is not used for this game). If the attacker's roll is higher than the defender's roll, this is handled like normal chess. If the defender's roll is higher than the attacker's (or it's equal), the attacker's move is wasted and the piece returns to it's space. If a player rolls a 1 on their die, their piece is removed even in the case of a tie. Kings are the exception to this rule, if on king is attacking another king there is no "attacker" or "defender" and there are no bonuses from other pieces. Both players roll a d20 and whoever rolls lowest loses their king, if it's a draw then reroll. Lastly, your pawns can't obstruct your teammate's pawns. If your pawn is face to face with your ally's pawn, you can swap their places as your move. Some of the notable features of this variant are that it's a 2v2 chess game rather than the usual 1v1, the board's layout is different each time with randomly placed tiles that each have different effects such as restricting movement or granting defensive bonuses, and capturing the enemy pieces involves an element of luck and more than just the 2 pieces in question.

[@alexalfano2171]

Ah yes! *Pillar Knight*

[@EdKolis]

My shovel knight digs under the pillar! Checkmate!

[@erickpoorbaugh6728]

Interesting that minor pieces are worth 1 pawn more than their traditional valuation and rooks and queens are worth 2 pawns more. Also, why don't they drop the last 0 from all of the numbers since it doesn't affect anything (i.e., you get 80 points with Queens costing 11, Rooks 7, Knights and Bishops 4, and Pawns 1)?

[@deadersurvival4716]

Probably to make it clear which was which to anyone that decided they were too good to read the columns of the table.

[@energeticcreeper7969]

for the zeros thing it's a common numbering trick that makes everything feel larger and more impactful than it really is. you're gonna be much more weary to take a queen that costs 90 points than one that costs 9

[@Afdch]

balancing issues maybe read in patch notes for version 1.3: pawn now cost 9 points, knights now cost 45 :)

[@ShadowCatGaming26]

Oh God

[@airmanon7213]

@@ShadowCatGaming26 Yeah, it would be crazy seeing other pieces using knight vests to pass the pillars. I guess a rule for pieces with knight vests would be that if they end a turn on a pillar, they have to move off the pillar next turn. Or, alternatively, pieces with knight vests aren't allowed to end turns on top of pillars. I don't know which rule is better as I have never played either shuuro nor plunder chess.

[@sepruecom]

And what happens to En Passant? Especially considering those third-row pawns, who can't move two squares, but theoretically are are in the right position for it when they moved one forward?

If I promote to a knight, can I move the pawn that I'm promoting onto a pillar?

[@TheR1.0AUCCC]

I think no, because you are still a pawn before you move to the last row.

[@tarikdzelilovic6061]

I like how his knight is always laughing like hehehe losers i can jump you can't

[@carealoo744]

I assume the rules are that for each move, the player also gets to block off a square, and they're trying to capture pieces to increase the number of blocks they can add, and the first player that can't add a block to an empty Square loses?

[@rosemariequitos9009]

so if a knight is in a pillar then it's invincible unless there's a knight that's attacking it?

[@blissgem]

the board is so vast that it really makes no sense to neuter third row pawns like that, if anything second row pawns should be allowed a triple step on their first move

[@tango_mondo5751]

I feel like people are gonna abuse the buffed knight alof

[@kevinlel]

tbf the bishop and rook get a lot of benefit from the board being way better, so knights getting the pillars as a buff to compensate is probably a good idea

[@Bigzthegreat]

knights are actually nerfed because the board is bigger. a much larger board means that bishops, rooks, and queens occupy much more board space and are much more intrusive.

[@tango_mondo5751]

Ok

[@4444Ferris]

Man... Imagine combining this with fairy chess

[@ZeroStorm200]

[@atlekristiansen4975]

The inventor didn't think about giving the knights an added bonus while moving off an obstacle? For example allowing it to move a square farther away? But it's an interesting game, for sure...

[@sagatario58]

I mean, Knights in regular chess are already a strong peice with their ability to move over other pieces. Now they have special places that only they can move onto and can't be threatened while standing there. They didn't really need an additional benefit to keep track of.

[@christianp.7675]

Tbf, they're immune to attacks while on pillars. They don't need more.

[@raphaelnej8387]

well they are only immune, I think it would be more fair if they gain the ability to teleport to any square of the board, thus instantly checkmating opponent.
