New Variant Idea: 19 Player Chess

Okay, so I have posted about a variant where you can see your opponent's pieces but not your own, but what about a 19 player chess game? The rules are the same a regular 4 player chess, but it has 19 players! What do you guys think?

The idea is absurd. Complete nonsense

bruh

1) how are you guys are supposed to make a board for 19 players

2) this will literally take an hour to finish a single game

3) 19 players joining the same game will also take a while

agree

:.( 

19 players is far too many for a chess game 

Also, how would the board look?

Why 19 players

I like the idea, but it might take a lot to fill up. I support multiplayer and multidimensional chess. If you are interested we could set up a club. I just want to look at the picture of the board.

same

You could do this...everyone has 8 chaturaji pieces or something like that.

19 is a very odd number that wouldn't work

YES +10000000000 

Let's see the board!

19 is a prime number. Prime numbers are among the greatest fascinations for mathematicians. They are the foundations on which all other numbers are built. Perhaps their exceptional oddity is precisely what makes them so fascinating.

Yup. I believe this could work if we make the board with non square fields. Possibly different fields, hyperbools, hexagons, etc

2 is also a prime number. Prime number does not mean bad number. We just need a board with nineteen faces.

It will be difficult to make a board for 19 players. Number of players should be divisible by 2, so I think 20 Player Chess would be better.

If 19 player chess really invented, it will take more than 10 years to make a 1 game start lmao.

Nah but it might take 30 mins xD

Even 8PC takes insane amounts of time.
