Nichess - Chess with Health Points

Nichess is a game like chess where pieces have special abilities and health points. This allows for much finer balancing and many more variants compared to regular chess. For example, pieces can push or pull other pieces, deal area of effect (AOE) damage, have lots of health points and be difficult to destroy, use ranged attacks, etc.

There is no video explaining all the rules, but it's very similar to chess. These are the main things you need to know:

1) Standard attack

2) Special abilities

Keep in mind that it's still a work in progress. There are many mistakes I've made and only realized later. It will take a few variants to get it right.

If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions, I'd love to hear them.
