RULES:
The object of this 2-player game is to be the first player to get their 4 pieces in a row horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Layout the board between the two players. You can also play this game with a regular sized board by marking off a 4 by 4 area. Each player picks a color and takes the matching-colored pieces. Pick a player to go first, then turns alternate. During the first 3 rounds, players take turns placing any piece on any empty space on the board. After each player has 3 pieces on the board you are then allowed to move a piece instead of placing a new one.
All pieces move as they do in regular chess. For a refresher of those rules, check out this video. The only difference is that when a pawn reaches either side of the board it reverses direction. Captured pieces are removed from the board and returned to their owner and may be placed again immediately, or on any future turn, on any open space. You may not capture by placing a piece on the board. The first player to get 4 of their pieces in a row horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, wins!

This seems very vulnerable to games where both sides can always stop each other from winning indefinitely

[@cubicinfinity2]

I haven't analyzed it. Don't want to right now. But, are/should there be repetition draws?

[@williamhrivnak7345]

I mean thats how normal tic tac toe is already

I did ;)

Yeah, I wondered why it was so smooth

[@juliatruchsess1019]

A pawn that has reversed also can capture in reverse? I would think it'd be hard to remember which pawns are going forward and which are going in reverse.

[@ScorpioneOrzion]

there is only 1 pawn

[@juliatruchsess1019]

But how do you remember which direction it's going?

[@ScorpioneOrzion]

@@juliatruchsess1019 you only need to remember it for 1 pawn, that should not be that hard

[@juliatruchsess1019]

OK :) Looks like a fun game, nicely done!

[@HY-if9ct]

Or replace pawn with horse so you don't need to remember it You just need to rotate your pawn

[@CrystalClearWith8BE]

It's good to do so while using a regular chess board using a 4×4 grid. Pawn, rook, bishop and knight are required each one.

[@honestcommenter8424]

White moved the knight while only having two pieces on the board? Is that allowed? Does the player only need to reach three pieces on the board once? What happens if one player capture all pieces of the other player?

Or just remember which direction one of the ONLY TWO PAWNS is moving.

This game should be played with a regular chess board and pieces, but 8 pieces in a row. 😅

[@BronxLens]

At 46 seconds he takes the dark pawn with the white one but white only had 2 pieces on the board, so that was an illegal move, since a player must have minimum of 3 pieces on the board in order to be able to capture.

[@Kulpo]

i think that rule only applies at the start of the game.

But it doesn't tell you how the game draws. And that's the flaw. And that's the rhythm from a raw guess by me.

[@ecyor0]

Is there even a draw state though? Captured pieces come back, and there is no king to check so stalemate isn't a thing.

[@sophiegrey9576]

@@ecyor0 You could potentially get threefold repetition in a situation where one side plays the same moves over and over to prevent their opponent from winning
