TeamReamy

there is no way that's making it past cga

i am sincerely sorry

2bHNST

Yeah, uh, I don't think it's a good idea to base a game off of a board game that takes two months to finish. Plus, it looks like piece spam.

OMISGOAT

The board game itself is complicated,and yeah this variant is too complicated also.

Ok, 2 positions.

1) Still not abandoning this one, despite the number of readjustments

Setup 18 + K, 8th=CJK, Sideways. Name is TBD. (pawns are Berolinas, for those of you who use Standard)

-

And 2)

12th=K, RB vs YG, Stalemate Loss, Blue moves first. Calling this one "To The Moon And Back"

In this one, Yellow's goal is to escort Green to promotion (end of the board), then back to the other end to reach a hill square. Red and Blue try to check Green 9 times. An alternative way for RB to win is to promote a blue pawn to a king, then reach the hill using that.

Idea for variant: A Deadly Duel

5x5 board, all corner squares missing. Knight spawns in the middle of the bottom of the board. Knights move normally, but can be checked/mated. You are allowed to move into check. First to capture opponent's knight wins.

called: something horsy lies in darkness, I think I did pretty good with the concept ( the dragon bishop is just decoration)

Hi all, just putting this here since it'll likely reach the right audience more efficiently:

If your submission is declined, please do not start renaming it to something random like "DECLINED VARIANT JUMPSCARE" or "RANDOM RUBBISH #1929" or "hello this is lowercase because why not". If you think this is ridiculous, I would agree, because there are about 20 variants on Variants World that are currently named in some manner similar to the one I described above.

Nobody wants to open Variants World and have the first thing they see be some random text capitalized to draw attention to it. Keep in mind that if I send a message to your inbox asking you to stop, that's a real warning, because yes, this renaming thing is a form of spamming.

Thank you all for reading!
